History of AFAS Circustheater
The theater was opened on July 16, 1904 by Circus Schumann under the name Circusgebouw and was a real circus in Scheveningen until the 1960s, which could only be visited during the summer period. At that time, every summer a well-known circus family stood with a tent, where the current Circustheater stands. The building was later named Circus Strassburger. The animals were transported by train from different cities to Hollands Spoor Station. From there, the animals were transported via the track of tram line 11 to the Duinstraat. There was an exhaust platform for the animals. The circus animals were escorted from there to Gevers Deynootplein.
