“He Could Lift an Elephant…”
Goerner the Mighty
by Edgar Mueller
A Genuine Circus Strongman
If Webster’s dictionary had a picture next to “circus strongman”, it would be that of great Hermann Goerner. Round face, leopard skin, Roman sandals and large hands. Believe me, he looked the part!
Goerner traveled the world over doing strong man acts alone, with his wife, with other strongmen and in circuses.

…and hundreds of other equally amazing feats of strength!
Here’s what George F. Jowett had to say about
Hermann Goerner:
“Comparing Goerner with other old time and present strong men, such as Steinbach, Swoboda, Rigoulot, etc., I am amazed most by his wonderful lift of 793¾ lb. That is an enormous weight to lift off the ground and stand erect. If all the greatest strong men of the world could be brought together, there is no doubt that Hermann Goerner would wear the proud title – World’s Strongest Man!”
Here is unparalleled entertainment and inspiration as well as valuable instruction in the training methods and strength feats of a “gen-u-wine”, real, oldtime circus strongman!
