Circus Busch-Roland

Circus Busch-Roland was a permanent building with a circular design located in Berlin-Mitte, designed to accommodate thousands of spectators. The venue hosted regular circus performances featuring acrobats, trained animals, and various other entertainers throughout its operation.

The circus enterprise began in the 19th century and eventually came to Berlin, where its main building was completed in 1895. Decades later it merged with another circus company and continued operating performances until its final closure.

The circus served as a public gathering place where people from different backgrounds came together for entertainment and spectacle. Performances brought together diverse audiences who could watch acrobats, trained animals, and other performers in the same space.

The location was situated in a central district of Berlin and was accessible to visitors over many decades. When visiting, spectators could expect a wide range of entertainment, from acrobatic performances to trained animal acts.

The building became the site of a historical moment when councils gathered there in 1918 and an important political event took place. This meeting symbolized a turning point in German history and made the location significant beyond its role as entertainment venue.
