Berolina Circus in Need: Animal Adventure Park remains closed!
The Circus Berolina is currently facing major challenges. Like [maz-online.de](https://www.maz-online.de/lokales/dahme-spreewald/schonefeld/tiererlebnispark-waltersdorf-closed-circus-berolina-hof ft-auf-hilfe-GDBACYLVEZHWRIO473HYFIFYT4.html?mst_prev_website=maz&mst_prev_page_id=ETM3KXXDGJG2FJNEVP7HUS6NUI&mst_prev_link_type=article) reported, the animal adventure park and the associated bouncy castle area in Waltersdorf will remain closed until further notice. The circus family would like to open its doors again, but is forced to keep the area closed for the time being due to official requirements. The situation is critical because the district veterinary office has become aware of the structural conditions. The entire site is outdoors, meaning there are no building rights for the existing structures.
District Administrator Sven Herzberger has signaled his support for the circus family, and the mayor of Schönefeld, Christian Hentschel, is also looking for a common solution. So far, however, it has remained wishful thinking – a clear building permit is still pending. In addition, the death of the former director Bernhard Spindler has brought the issue of building law problems back into focus. The municipality's press spokeswoman, Solveig Schuster, confirmed that the search for alternatives is still ongoing. The circus family's hope for new talks with the responsible authorities remains.
Criticism from the animal protection scene
Peta is calling for a ban on animals in circuses and explains that the species-appropriate needs of the animals cannot be met in a traveling company. Dr. Yvonne Würz from Peta makes it clear that the circus cannot address the requirements that the animals need to lead a fulfilling life.
