Let's Grab Some One-of-a-Kind Stuff! Marion Fedder's Auctioning Off Jan's Memorabilia
Widow of Jan Fedder Sells Off Financial Mementos at Auction
Five years gone, and yet Jan Fedders, the cherished Hamburg actor, continues to captivate us, not least through Marion, his widow. She's been tending to his priceless collection, amassed over decades, filled with curiosities from his St. Pauli apartment and Schleswig-Holstein farm. Now, she's opening the vault—18 rare collectibles will be up for grabs on eBay starting May 11th. Each bid begins at a meager euro, with the proceeds going to a heart project, the proposed Jan Fedder meeting spot on the Kiez, where fans and pals can gather.
A Passion Unbound
Marion recalls, "Jan's collecting obsession knew no bounds." For over five decades, he'd scoop up anything that caught his fancy. "The thrill of the chase was his favorite bit." She's still working on sorting and cataloging the collection, constantly discovering hidden gems. "Fortunately, I was by his side for 20 years, which means I know the stories behind each artifact."
Highlights of the auction include Fedder's sleek 1956 limo, refurbished for a cool 10 grand, his iconic Messerschmitt cabin scooter from his 2000 wedding, Helmut Schmidt's authentic captain's hat from a birthday soirée, and, curiously, a XXXL pair of underwear that dictator Idi Amin gifted him in 1996, complete with a Queen Elizabeth II letter.
More treasures? A "Tatort" shooting schedule, a get-well card from the "Büttenwarder" crew, a Fritz the Flat Man duo, Fedder's Fed Cross of Merit, the original "Büttenwarder" bus stop sign, and a Bolex camera, among other goodies.
Score Some Unique Goodies
So, grab your eBay account and join the fun! Who knows, you just might snag yourself a piece of Hollywood history while supporting a worthy cause. And hey, who knows, if you have any specific requests or curiosity, we might be able to dig up something special for you—just ask!
Remember, though, there's much more to eBay than just auctions. If general vintage collectibles pique your interest, sites like PicClick have a robust selection of retro and mid-century pieces[1]. And if you're after something specific, be sure to peruse the virtual halls of eBay or other specialty collectible sites, as they're often brimming with hidden gems.
