Deciding to permanently locate their circus in Munich, Germany, the couple commissioned the Circus Krone Building to be built on the Marsstraße in the Maxvorstadt district of the city. By 1905, Krone and his wife, Ida Ahlers, had developed the menagerie into a circus show, establishing it as Circus Krone. The origins of the original Circus Krone Building date back to 1900, when Carl Krone inherited his father’s travelling menagerie, ‘Menagerie Continental’, which performed year-round across Europe. For the remaining months of the year, the Circus Krone Building is rented out as a multi-purpose venue for entertainment and corporate events, including concerts, cabarets, musicals, comedy shows, television recordings, company presentations, and press conferences. Circus Krone occupies the building for its winter circus program every year traditionally from December until the beginning of April. It continues to serve as the headquarters and permanent circus building of Circus Krone, which is considered as “Europe’s most famous traditional circus”. The third and current Circus Krone Building, opened in 1962, is a 3,000-seat multi-purpose venue built using reinforced concrete infrastructure and brick walls. Īfter the conclusion of World War II in 1945, a temporary wooden structure with 1,800 seats was built such that Circus Krone could continue its circus show performances. In December 1944, as a consequence of strategic bombing during World War II, the building was destroyed during a bombardment by the Allies of World War II. It was rented numerous times to the Nazi Party, of which included Adolf Hitler delivering 7 speeches in the building between 19. Beyond being used for circus performances, the Circus Krone Building was rented to various civic, political, and religious organisations to host meetings and speeches. It was the headquarters and permanent circus building of Circus Krone. The original Circus Krone Building was a 4,000-seat wooden circus arena completed in 1919. These buildings consist of the original Circus Krone Building, its temporary replacement, and the current permanent building.
