Munich - They have been following the plan of a club museum at TSV 1860 for many years. Much further there is Sigi Nagelstutz (52). The die-hard lion fan has transformed his 33 square meter booth in Munich's Einsteinstrasse into a private museum over the years
He uses a second apartment in the same house with his wife Elisabeth for regular life. Because: There is no longer any space for cooking and washing in the museum.
Flea markets as a treasure trove for lion treasures
Sigi, when and how did your lion collection start?
It started as a boy with stadium booklets, tickets and patches. Before the games in the Olympic Stadium, I often got the two-mark pieces left at the lockers in the Olympic bath. The money went straight into patches. I made the first cowl with them. My mother taught me how to sew.
How has the offer changed over the years?
The Bayern League time was not easy, there was only one dealer at the Sechzger Stadium, near the east curve. The flea markets in and around Munich were productive, so you always found something for sixty - sometimes at bargain prices. Ebay then changed a lot. The search has become easier, but the interesting things have become more expensive. In addition to 1860, I also collect national team stadium booklets Germany against British teams, as well as DFB Cup finals and women's international matches. Nowadays you rarely find anything useful at flea markets.
300 euros for a pennant from the 1967 Alpine Cup match
What have you spent the most on over the years?
That should be the handover pennant for the 1967 Alpine Cup match against AS Roma. That was 300 euros. But it is also a rare and beautiful part.
The collection also includes packs of youth cups and Mercury Cups. How come?
A few years ago, the caretaker couldn't get it down when the office was renovated. I was asked and said yes. They need a lot of space. Right now I'm tidying around a bit so I can sort the menus.
The menus?
Yes, I have a specialist from the VIP areas take it with me. Home and away. From my time in the Allianz Arena I have all but one menu. Heidenheim, I can't think of the season now. It's not that bad.
Player jerseys are washed: "Things start to muffle"
Your favorite unwashed original jersey?
I have some original jerseys. My wife got that from Daniel Wein after the ascent against Saarbrücken . But we wash things.
Seriously? You wouldn't have expected that now.
Yes, things start to muffle. If you have several in the apartment, that's not a pleasure.
Nagelstutz is against anti-Bavaria patches
True again. Which fan articles would never come to you?
Toasters and garden gnomes, all the standardized rubbish that all clubs have - I don't need that. And what I never liked are these anti-patches and badges. I do not want my club to be wrecked, so I agree with the others.
Not even a single Bavaria patch in the collection?
I have a single button that a HSV fan gave me in the Olympic Stadium. But it's in the drawer, not on the jacket.
