Liebe Sammlerfreunde,

wie die meisten von Euch bereits erfahren haben ist im Dezember ein bedeutender Sammler und Herausgeber verstorben.
Werner Fechner,
hat über viele Jahrzehnte die Sammlerschaft in verschiedenen Funktionen begleitet und geleitet. Welcher Sammler kannte nicht seine Offizin und welcher Sammler hat nicht im Kulmbach auf den legendären "Pappen gestöbert"?
In den letzten Jahren hatte ich viel Kontakt zu ihm. Sein Fachwissen und seine Späße ( nicht jeder verstand sie ) werde ich vermissen!
Zu meiner Überraschung wurde ich von Herrn Fechners Sohn gebeten ihm bei der Vermarktung des Formenbestandes zu helfen.
Nach einer Bestandsaufnahme war es uns möglich ca. 95 Prozent des Formenbestandes an andere Herausgeber abzugeben.
Dabei geht mein besonderer Dank an Klaus Fechner der mit den fairen Preisen die Formenübernahme für andere Herausgeber erst möglich machte.
Aber der Fechner Bestand ist so riesig das Klaus Fechner sich entschlossen hat am
23./24. März in Michelbach Tage des offenen Hauses zu machen
Dort werden für die Sammler jede Menge bemalte Figuren , vollplaste Figuren, historische Figuren, Metallformen, Schieferformen, Literatur, uniformkundliche Werke, Gießmetall, Vitrinen und vielerlei anderes Zubehör für kleines Geld angeboten.
Unbemalte Blankfiguren wird es nicht geben!!!

Ich hoffe das viele Sammler den Weg nach Michelbach finden und vieles aus dem Erbe von Werner Fechner erhalten bleibt.
Auch ich werde an diesen Tagen in Michelbach vor Ort sein und Familie Fechner unterstützen und versuchen den Sammlern beim Stöbern zu helfen.

Dear collector friends,
As most of you have already learned, an important collector and publisher died in December.
Werner Fechner,
has accompanied and led the collectorate in various functions over many decades. Which collector didn't know his office and which collector didn't rummage through the legendary "cardboards" in the Kulmbach?
I have had a lot of contact with him over the last few years. I will miss his expertise and his jokes (not everyone understood them)!
To my surprise, Mr. Fechner's son asked me to help him market the mold inventory.
After taking stock, we were able to sell around 95 percent of the mold inventory to other publishers.
My special thanks go to Klaus Fechner, whose fair prices made it possible for other publishers to adopt the form.
But the Fechner inventory is so huge that Klaus Fechner decided to...
23rd/24th March in Michelbach to hold open house days
There are a lot of painted figures, solid plastic figures, historical figures, metal forms, slate forms, literature, uniform studies, cast metal, display cases and many other accessories for little money for collectors.
There will be no unpainted blank figures!!!
I hope that many collectors find their way to Michelbach and that much of Werner Fechner's legacy is preserved.
I will also be there in Michelbach on these days and will support the Fechner family and try to help the collectors browse.

Hello,

A big loss for the flat figure collector scene.

Werner Fechner's stand was a magnet for years for all collectors at the big figure fairs.
I myself have built up my collection of flat figures through many purchases from him.

I wish Werner's partner and family my deepest condolences.

A brief bit of information on the side:

I know that sounds a bit disrespectful when someone has just died, but it is and remains a problem in our hobbies when long-time editors give up, get sick or die.
The relatives are then usually faced with insoluble problems when it comes to winding up the business.

Werner Fechner has sold or passed on most of his molds and figures over the last few years, but there was still a large amount left when he died.
Since the house has to be completely cleared out, the remains of the molds, figures, literature, etc. have to be sold as quickly and easily as possible.

That sounds very hard and business-like, but it works the way Werner Fechner wanted it, it is in his interest that the figures continue to be available on the market.

I think that various old and new publishers will soon announce the adoption of forms and figures.

Therefore, keep him in good memory and give the new owners a chance to sell the figures too.

Best regards!

Very sad to hear that he is gone.
I met him frequently at the monthly meetings of the VFZ in Nürnberg before 2020.
A great man full of stories and always helpful to collectors.

Very sad news!
I tried to contact Mr. Fechner this year in April, but Ms. Rothmeier answered that at present no order could be accepted.
But I did not think, that the situation was so bad.
R.I.P.
