Review of our successful 79th Auction on May 9, 2026
Our 79th auction was a complete success, offering an impressive spectrum of 1,120 lots for collectors and art lovers alike. An absolute highlight that generated considerable buzz beforehand was a rare anniversary Lego brick made of 14-karat (585) yellow gold. The interest in this extraordinary object was so enormous that even the MDR broadcasting network was on-site to cover the auction. Following an exciting bidding war, the brick climbed from a starting price of €5,000 to an impressive hammer price of €15,000.
We also achieved excellent results across the other categories. For instance, the monumental bronze sculpture "Hera" by Wilfried Fitzenreiter changed hands for €11,000, while the iconic Addams Family pinball machine was auctioned off for €4,500. We recorded particularly strong price increases for Ernst Helbig's romantic Harz landscape, which started at €750 and was knocked down for €3,800, as well as for a set of Nuremberg cup weights, which reached €1,000. The top sales were rounded out by a classic Käthe Kruse doll, which started at €80 and ultimately went under the hammer for €750.
We sincerely thank all bidders and invite you to discover any unsold items in our online post-auction sale. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
