Five years after Jan Fedders' passing, his widow Marion is selling a portion of his eclectic collection for a worthy cause. Starting on May 11, fans can log onto eBay to snag some fascinating treasures, with starting bids as low as a single Euro.
"Jan's collecting obsession knew no bounds," Marion fondly recalled. For over five decades, the beloved "Tatort" actor hoarded anything that struck his fancy. "The thrill of the hunt was what made it all worthwhile for him." Marion continues to unearth hidden gems from the vast array she and her late husband accumulated.

- Wheelie-good Wedding Ride: Jan's iconic Messerschmitt cabin scooter, which he drove to his wedding in 2000, is also going under the hammer.
- Chancellor's Gaff: How about a captain's hat originally worn by none other than former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt himself? Jan cunningly convinced Helmut to hand it over during a birthday celebration.
- Quirky Curios: Keep an eye out for a massive, XXXL pair of underwear once owned by Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, along with a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to confirm the purchase.
- Tatort Terrifics: Offerings include a shooting script from the very first "Tatort" episode, a get-well card from the "Büttenwarder" team, a rebuilt "Haifischbar" slot machine, a Bolex camera, and more.
The proceeds from the auction will go towards establishing a special gathering place for fans and friends in Marion's honor—the Jan-Fedder-Meeting Place on the Reeperbahn.
