Cirkus Benneweis was the largest circus in the nordic countries. Established way back in 1887 they became famous all over the world. Run by the Benneweis family dynasty, they also visited Aarhus every year, setting up their tent in Tangkrogen. But times were changing and audiences for traditional circuses declined in the new century. After a very disappointing 2015-season, Benneweis declared that they would not go on the road in 2016 and would instead try to "rethink" the circus concept. By the end of the 2018-season, they still haven't returned and the tent, plus many of the assets have been sold. Of course, one should never say never, but it's getting increasingly unlikely that they will ever return.

The old Scania seems to have been aquired for the 2004-season. Like most of the company vehicles, it underwent annual registration/deregistration and lasted until the end in 2015, by then it was close to 30 years old!

The 1984 Volvo F6 Turbo parked next to it, didn't quite make it to the end - it was retired by the end of the 2013-season. An unknown Scania 93M 280 can be seen in the background right.

Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lavulv/collections/72157684190396672/">www.flickr.com/photos/lavulv/collections/72157684190396672/</a> ) - here you will find all trucks organized in albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.

Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.
