Comments / pictures Circus Brumbach in Germany Germany

1949: Gustav Brumbach and his circus managed to leave DDR to West-Germany.

1954: Numerous good medium-sized circuses have disappeared in the turbulence of the times and due to a lack of worthy offspring. Five made it through, but none with as much luck as Gustav Brumbach. At the end of the war he was surprised by the Russians whose circus-happy nature kept the family business alive.

But when expropriation threatened, Brumbach piled west in 1950. Curt Riess wrote an imaginative series on »Die Flucht des Zirkus Brumbach« in the »Weltbild« -illustrated with elephants that forced the transition across the sector border in Berlin. The splendid story is dismissed by circus people as "advertising hype".

Brumbach did not save more than "three percent" of his company in the West - and that quite legally, says Hagenbeck press chief Niemeyer. But Brumbach quickly got back on his Feet when the American film company 20th Century Fox shot the circus escape story "A man on a tightrope" with him in Geiselgasteig and paid him 10,000 marks a day. So it happened that Gustav Brumbach can afford the luxury, which today circus people are tempted to believe, of driving a Pontiac limousine.
Der SPIEGEL, 1954
