Description

Circus Herman Renz, Netherlands .

Comments / pictures1990: In 1990 Herman Jr., and his girlfriend Diana, performed for one season with the French circus Achille Zavatta II. Despite this, Herman wanted to continue the Circus Renz with Diana, and the families of Steijvers and Ronday.

In September 1990 Diana & Herman Renz ended a contract with the Circus Achille Zavatta II. On 13 March 1991 they open with the renewed 'Dutch National Circus Herman Renz'.

Over a five-year period, the now-married Diana & Herman Renz developed the circus into the largest in the Netherlands and later Benelux.

1996: On 13 March 1996 the circus had arrived in the Dutch city of Hapert for a show at Centerparc 'Het Vennenbos'. Herman and Diana had not been seen yet that day. Worried manager Robert Ronday looked for them and found them dead, poisoned by carbon monoxide. The shows and the tour were temporarily cancelled. Some days later, the Circus moved to Haarlem, where the funeral took place. The couple were then buried at the 'Zorgvlied' cemetery in Amsterdam.

A week after the burial Herman\'s mother announced that she wanted to sell the circus for 800,000 Dutch guilders.
