Viewing of the auction items

Viewing of the auction items will take place on the same day between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. This gives bidders ample time to familiarize themselves with the range of items being auctioned and thus prepare well for the auction. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the items in advance and not be afraid to ask questions. Alfred Mittermeier will be available to provide his expertise and support during the event.

Part of the proceeds for charitable purposes in the region

Lost property will be sold to the highest bidder. Please note that payment must be made in cash. The auction not only provides a solution for unused items, but also an opportunity to donate a portion of the proceeds to charitable causes in the region. The non-profit organizations that will benefit from the proceeds are selected by the municipalities in the airport region. This commitment demonstrates Munich Airport’s sense of responsibility toward the region and ensures that a portion of the proceeds flows back into the community.
