Circus Roncalli on track

As part of its “All for ART for ALL” tour, Circus RONCALLI is coming to Vienna after a two-year break and will be in the city between 14 September and 9 October 2022. The company, based in Cologne, continues to rely on ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) to transport around 630 tonnes of circus equipment by rail.

RCG then takes over transportation in Passau, Germany, before bringing the equipment to the Freudenau port in Vienna. The load consists of 30 beautifully maintained, well restored circus and showman’s wagons that are up to 120 years old, various equipment such as fences and tarpaulins as well as small vehicles. Furthermore, around 4.5 kilometres of cable, 10,000 LED lights and 5 kilometres of water hoses are transported to Vienna on a 700 metre block train. Circus Roncalli’s equipment is unloaded by the Roncalli logistics team and, over a period of days, it will transform the Rathausplatz in Vienna into a realm of magic and poetry. From 14 September, the stage is set for the new programme “All for ART for ALL”.
