Suitcase sensation in Stuttgart: Dead objects or valuable treasures?
An exciting event is returning to Stuttgart Airport: After an interruption due to the pandemic, suitcase auctions will take place again on November 10th. To mark the airport's 100th birthday, 100 abandoned suitcases will be auctioned off this year. What is hidden in these suitcases remains a secret until the auction, which is what makes this event so attractive and entertaining.
The auctioned suitcases are those pieces of luggage that have been left unclaimed at the airport for a long period of time. Customs checks in advance that there are no dangerous or prohibited items inside, but the contents remain unknown to the auctioneers and bidders. This uncertainty brings with it additional tension and makes the auction an experience that is of interest not only to bidders. There is also a supporting program with various activities on stage.
Surprises and gifts in your luggage
A special incentive for participants are the surprises that the airport has hidden in some of the suitcases. These include travel vouchers, tickets to local events and even new products made available by the airport's subsidiary. This not only creates excitement during the auction, but also provides an additional incentive to take part in this special event.
There are some important tips for those traveling by car. The airport recommends using public transport as a high volume of visitors is expected. Arriving early is advisable as the number of spectators in Terminal 4 is limited for security reasons.
A good cause comes first
The auction also has a social character. All proceeds from the auction will benefit non-profit organizations, including the Women Help Women Filder association and the Fildertafel. This brings additional weight and meaning to the event and combines fun and benefits in an impressive way.
Anyone who would like to take part in the auction must register in advance on the Airport website register. There are four time windows in which 25 suitcases will be auctioned off each time. The first auction starts at 11 a.m. and the last at 3:45 p.m. Anyone who doesn't want to miss the spectacle should act quickly and secure their place.
This event not only promises surprises in the form of valuable finds, but also an entertaining gathering of people who take the opportunity to auction off unusual objects and do good at the same time. The people of Stuttgart can look forward to an exciting and thrilling event that appropriately continues the tradition of suitcase auctions.
