Zierer Karussell- und Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG (also Zierer Rides or Zierer , original spelling ZIERER ) is a company that has specialized in the manufacture of carousels and roller coasters .

history

The company's history begins in 1930 when the master carpenter Vitus Zierer founded the Zierer company in Deggendorf , Bavaria . In the same year he built a caravan for his brother Max Zierer, who was a showman, the quality of which was so convincing that other showmen quickly noticed him and commissioned the first sales stands, sales cars and luggage vans from him. In the 1950s, the construction of the first carousels and ghost trains began. In 1977, almost at the same time as the Huss and Schwarzkopf companies, the company presented its first ship swing, which Zierer called itself Wikinger and Fliegender Holländer . In the 1990s, Josef Zierer took over his grandfather's business. The company is now part of the Bavarian Max Streicher Group , a group of companies specializing in international civil engineering. Zierer produces roller coasters as well as fun and major rides, carousels and wave fliers for public festivals and amusement parks worldwide. The Roller Coaster Data Base (RCDB) recorded a total of 185 roller coasters installed worldwide in 2019. The wave flyer was delivered over 200 times.
