context_page_description: Circus Herman Renz is the largest circus in the Netherlands, and has been touring the Netherlands and other countries since 1911.
context_section_description: A week after the burial the Herman's mother announces that she wants to sell the circus for 800,000 Dutch guilders. Many want to save the circus. Nine years old Ronald Blom generated a lot of publicity. Ronald was seen on television shows such as the 'TV-Show of Ivo Niehe', 'Hart van Nederland' and 'Het Jeugdjournaal' (the news for youth). There is even a story in the local newspaper of Haarlem ('Haarlems Dagblad'). Ronald also collects money (in total 1,012 guilders).  Ed Glas organized actions to save the circus also, together with the interim executive board of the circus, Toin Routers (public relations officer of the circus in 2005) and Hans de Jager, a fan club was set up. Individuals and companies could rent a chair in the Circus as sponsors. Princess Household Appliances, a company located in the Dutch city of Breda owned by Aad Ouborg, sponsors the circus until 1998. 
  Today the circus is owned by the families Steijvers, Ronday and Olivier. The executive board consists of five people.
  Circus Herman Renz went bankrupt in October 2015, after the Duursma Group took over the Circus. Duursma Group restarted the Circus Herman Renz with a new series of performances at the Maashorst Fair in Schaijk.
