Günter Fiebig from Peißenberg is a passionate collector.
His hobby has now earned him an appearance on the RTL program “Die Superhandel”.
The show was recorded on Tuesday and will be broadcast in a month or two.
Peißenberg - The fact that Günter Fiebig is a passionate collector is well known in the region.
The Peißenberger has been selling his goods at flea markets in the region for 25 years.
“I love that,” says Fiebig, who works as a salesman at “Hagebau” in Peißenberg.
He just likes everything about the flea market: He likes to get up early, then drive to the place where the flea market takes place, set up his stand there and then wait for interested parties: “The haggling and bargaining and when someone is found, he Enjoys a certain piece - that's just fun. "
Fiebig, who is also known in Peißenberg because he is the chairman of the “Peißenberg Spielmannszug”, does not buy any goods.
Because so many know of his passion for collecting and his enjoyment of selling flea markets, friends, acquaintances, neighbors and relatives give him things that result from household liquidations or are simply left over.
“Before I throw it away, Fiebig will get it” is a popular saying in his environment.
“I live in an apartment building and it happens again and again that someone hangs a plastic bag with goods on my door.” Sometimes he doesn't even know who gave him the items.
“Many are happy when they don't have to throw things away.
And there is almost nothing that cannot be sold, ”says Fiebig.
Because many in his circle of friends and acquaintances know that Günter Fiebig can find a buyer for almost everything, he was recently given a coffee pot from the Biedermeier era that he was selling on the Internet.
This was discovered by the employees of the production company of “The Super Dealers - 4 Rooms 1 Deal” and contacted him, says Fiebig.
During the phone call he reported about a collection package for the East German-Russian space mission “Soyuz 31” in 1978, which a friend who had since passed away had given him around ten years ago.
A book, two pennants, an original photo and two envelopes with special stamps, hand-signed by Sigmund Jähn, the first German astronaut to be in space.
“There was no longer any talk of the coffee pot,” says Fiebig.
At the end of the phone call, the invitation to the show was accepted.
On Monday, the Peißenberger took the train to Cologne, where the program moderated by Sükrü Pehlivan is being recorded, the aim of which is to find a buyer for the goods on offer among the four dealers who each sit in one room.
Fiebig was picked up by the production company and taken to the hotel, where he spent the night before the recording.
The next morning, the Peißenberger had to do a rapid corona test, without which he would not have been allowed to enter the studio.
After the test was negative, "it happened in quick succession," says Fiebig.
He got into the mask, his clothes were checked for television compatibility and a sound sample was made.
An interview followed in which Fiebig talked about his job, his homeland and his hobbies.
“Then we went to the studio,” says the Peissenberger.
At that point he was pretty excited, he admits.
The excitement was gone when it really started with the recording and he met the moderator and the dealers.
"Then I presented and praised my goods." As a salesman and passionate flea market dealer, that was easy for him.
Finally it went into the room of the first dealer.
Fiebig does not yet want to reveal what happened there and whether this or one of the other retailers bought the “Soyuz” package: “Otherwise it will no longer be exciting when the show runs in one or two months,” he says.
He says that he could tell that he came back to Peißenberg without his collector's package.
After the recording he was brought back to the station and at 7.30 p.m. he was back in Peißenberg.
Unfortunately, because of the Corona measures, he was unable to continue enjoying the trip, but being there was "really great".
“It was a nice and well paid excursion,” says Fiebig.
