Auctioning Memorabilia: Marion Fedder Sells Jan Fedders' Collectibles for a Cause

Widow of Jan Fedder sells off treasured memorabilia at auction

It's been five years since the passing of beloved actor, Jan Fedders, and his widow Marion is opening her late husband's treasure chest once more. From May 11, fans can bid on 18 unique items on eBay, including a restored 1956 black limousine, a Messerschmitt scooter, and Helmut Schmidt's captain's cap. The starting bid for each item is just one euro, with all proceedings going towards the establishment of the Jan-Fedder-Meeting Point on the Reeperbahn.

Jan's collecting passion was boundless, with him amassing hundreds of curiosities over half a century. Marion, being by his side for 20 years, has continued to organize the collection and uncovers new surprises.

The Adventure of Collecting

For Jan, the thrill of the chase was the most beautiful thing. Highlights of the auction include a legendary Messerschmitt scooter, an original captain's cap from Helmut Schmidt, and a rare XXXL pair of underwear belonging to Idi Amin, complete with a letter from Queen Elizabeth II. Other rarities include a script from the first "Großstadtrevier" shoot, a "Büttenwarder" team get-well sign, a slot machine from Fedder's replica "Haifischbar", a Bolex camera, the original "Büttenwarder" bus stop sign, two NDR flat men, a Federal Cross of Merit, and much more.

The Heart of the Auction

Charity auctions, like this one, are all about raising funds for a specific cause or project. The Jan-Fedder-Meeting Point on the Reeperbahn aims to bring together fans and friends, and all proceeds from the auction will contribute to this goal. For details about specific items or updates on the auction, check with organizers or look for updates on eBay.
