Circus Krone Building

Circus Krone Building is a permanent circus venue with a 3,000-seat arena located on Marsstraße in Maxvorstadt. The structure features reinforced concrete and brick walls that create the support system for this classic circus building.

An original wooden structure stood here from 1919 but was destroyed during bombing raids on Munich in 1944. After several years with temporary replacements, the current building opened in 1962.

The circus draws its identity from a long tradition of circus life that shows in how the building is used year-round. Winter brings circus shows, while warmer months host concerts and other performances.

The venue sits on Marsstraße with good access from various directions and straightforward entry for most visitors. Since the space hosts different types of events ranging from winter circus to concerts and special programs, it helps to check ahead about what is scheduled.

The building hosted performances by major international acts including the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. A memorable moment occurred in 1976 when the stage collapsed during a major event.
