Circus Kludsky had some 700 animals and are said to have displayed the largest number of animals in the world on any circus, before the first world war.Founder was Antonín Kludský (1826-1895) who also started the zoo at Brno, CZ, as a winterquarters for circus animals. Antonín Kludský had 21 sons! The oldest son Anton, was killed by a lion, and so the second son Karel Kludsky senior (1864-1927) took over the circus. He was married to Theresia Kneisel (1869-1930).
In 1902, Karel Kludsky senior acquired the cavalry of the Wulff Circus and created a large circus-hippodrome to which it annexed his menagerie.Karel Kludsky senior had three sons, Karel jr (Charles, born 1891 in Temesvar in Romania, dead 1967), Henry and Rudolph (born 1893 in Judenburg, dead 1960).
1934: Circus Kludsky bankrupted. Circus Kludsky officially ended 22nd of Februari 1934, and all animals were sold to Firma Ruhe in Alfeld. After WWII Karel Kludsky tried to reestablish his Circus. When asking for support in Prague (who taxed him heavily earlier) he was offered to work in Prague Zoo. He refused and went back to his home in Jirow, but his house was confiscated and served as barracks for the army. Kludsky and his wife moved to a house in the village Vinařice, but he prefered to live in the caravan in the garden, and dream of his memories, from one of the largest circuses ever. Kludsky has mentioned that he trained 45 elephants during his life.
Karel Kludsky jr died 29th of November 1967, and his wife seven years later.
George Kludsky, from the later generations, married Yvonne Kruse, daughter of the swedish elephant trainer Gösta Kruse and Joan Fowles who presented "Joans Teddy Bears" on Bertram Mills Circus at much the same time as Gosta showed the elephants.
George and Yvonne Kludsky and their son Martyn Kludsky is still working the elephant Dumba in Europe.
Another relative in Prague, Bohumil Kludský is registered owner of the Circus Kludsky trademark.
