The clubs will be assisted by Markus Eisenbeis, president of the Rotary Club of Cologne/Bonn Millennium and owner of the renowned auction house Van Ham in Cologne. He will conduct the auction on May 8, 2021, probably exclusively online, at the new Nebelhorn mountain station at an altitude of over 2,000 meters. The two clubs and Van Ham will provide information about the exact details and the requirements for participating in the auction in good time. The cable car cabins will be on display around the valley station in the run-up to the auction.
The Nebelhornbahn in Oberstdorf is the longest cable car in Germany and thus one of the most famous in the Alpine region. The cabins up for auction weigh 1.5 tons each and were in operation from 1976 to 2020. They enabled millions of skiers, hikers and mountain lovers to enjoy a unique mountain experience with an exhilarating panoramic view of more than 400 peaks. These cabins are inseparably linked with memories of skiing vacations, Alpine hikes and family vacations and are thus likely to become a popular, though unusual, collector’s piece. Instead of being forgotten, the cabins can preserve these memories for their future owners.
