It is probably one of the most historic names in the circus world that Benito Degen and his family have chosen for their circus. Having acquired the rights from Hans-Peter Althoff, the circus has been travelling in Austria as "Circus H.P. Althoff" for several years now and is probably also reminiscent of the time of the Austrian National Circus Elfi Althoff-Jacobi.

In addition to international artists, family members from three generations also delight the audience with their performances in the circus ring. Aerial acrobatics are just as much a part of the programme as funny jokes by clowns and free dressage by horses of various sizes, from ponies to Arabian stallions.
