Fabian Kahl, the well-known antiques expert and TV star (ZDF, "Bares für Rares")
visited us at last year's Elbhangfest. Together with his brother Tobias Kahl, Julian Schmitz-Avila and Christian Vechtel, they inspected the treasures of Dresden's inhabitants and collected donations for forest conservation.
The campaign was so well received by everyone involved that the treasure days are going into their second round at the Elbhangfest 2025!
The level of donations last year was impressive: Visitors protected a total of 2,731 m2 old-growth forest!
As part of the Elbhang Festival on 28 and 29 June, interested parties can have their antiques valued by Fabian and his fellow dealers under the motto "Treasures for the rainforest" and do something good for nature at the same time. The experts will professionally inspect the items brought in, estimate their value, give advice, and even buy them directly if necessary. Of course, you can decide for yourself whether you would like to sell your items directly on site!
We would be delighted to receive a voluntary donation of €5 from all visitors who take an estimate. 100% of the proceeds from these donations will go towards protecting the rainforest. Any waiting times can be bridged with drinks and conversations with our team.
Fabian and his fiancée Yvonne visited our protected areas in Peru last year, saw our work for themselves, and experienced the beauty of the rainforest up close. Since then, the two have been working as ambassadors for Wilderness International and regularly draw attention to the relevance of nature conservation on Fabian's social media channels. Together with their community, Fabian and Yvonne also protect their "own" piece of forest - the Fabian Kahl Community Forest in the Secret Forest in Peru.
We look forward to welcoming many visitors!
