Circus William does not come up with Usedom in 2025: that is behind it!

Müncheberg, Deutschland - bad news for all circus fans on Usedom: the Circus william in 2025 do not make a guest on the island. This is the first time in over 20 years that the traditional circus does not appear at its usual location. The decision that affects many fans was made to invest the resources in the “Willes World” amusement park.

The circus family Wille has been committed to a clear separation of family and animals. This decision has not only become economically motivated, but also in view of the new drinking water protection regulation, which prohibits a circus operation near the Bansin petrol station. As early as 2023, the circus had to find a new location, which explains the current situation.

a new way for Circus William

Despite the cancellation of Usedom, the circus family remains optimistic and plans to go on tour even during the Christmas season. Circus William has earned an excellent reputation and cooperates closely with schools and clubs, which makes it much easier to change location. "We feel strongly connected to Usedom and hope for a return," explains a member of the circus family.

instead of traveling, Circus William will remain in the "Willes World" amusement park, which is around 40 minutes by car from Berlin and Frankfurt/Oder. In this five hectare amusement park not only take place animal shows, but also offers carousels, a petting zoo and lives from a variety of animals, including camels, zebras, antelopes and even two white tigers who have found a permanent home here.

The change in the circus world

The circus and its industry change - and there are reasons. More and more people value Animal protection and modern forms of performances. The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) has already taken measures to ensure that circus animals are treated well. These include the publication of circus guidelines and the introduction of a circus register ordinance in order to better monitor the use of wild animals in circuses.

The Wille circus family is aware of their responsibility and has always tried to optimally provide the animals. A look behind the scenes shows that the animals in the circus are well fed and apparently have no signs of cruelty to animals - from the visitor's point of view, last year's appearance was very positive.
