Franz Nock Jr.

Franz Nock Jr., circus director in Switzerland

Born 1936-08-07 , son of director Franz Nock Sr. and director Angelika Bauer .

Early on in his childhood, Franz got to know all areas of the touring business and grew into the circus world as an all-round artist. As a versatile acrobat, he showed chair pyramids, work with brother Alfredo and the sisters in a wide variety of disciplines.

Even as director of the company, he never hesitated to lend a hand wherever there was a need. Later Franz Nock presented his horses as director and managing director. The Fjord horses and later the Arabian and Friesian stallions were legendary. In 1992, Franz entrusted the circus to his daughter Franziska and retired from the ring. Even though his daughters Franziska and Alexandra run Circus Nock today, Franz is still omnipresent in the background and is always on the spot with advice and action.
