Experience emotion and fascination! Every year, Circus Knie tours Switzerland with artists, animals and comedians. Visitors can expect a modern show full of joie de vivre and passion. The Swiss National Circus Knie has been one of Europe's leading circus companies for over 200 years and is known for its entertainment that spans generations.
It all began in 1803 in Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria. The medical student Friedrich Knie fell in love with the trick rider Wilma. Their love broke up, but their passion for the circus remained. Friedrich founded his own open-air arena, toured Europe and laid the foundations for the Swiss National Circus Knie.
Look forward to daring acrobatics under the circus dome, poetic artistry and comedy for young and old. The 8th generation of the Knie family will once again be performing new shows with the noble horses.
