Bares für Rares Pushes Into Twitch Live as New Episodes Deliver Standout Moments

ZDF is taking Horst Lichter to Twitch to reach younger viewers with a behind-the-scenes stream.

Overview

  • ZDF announced a first-ever live Twitch broadcast for November 24 at 18:30 CET from the original set with Horst Lichter joined by Peter “Piet” Smits of PietSmiet, including backstage insights and streamer-submitted finds for on-the-spot reactions.
  • A recent segment underscored the show’s price-discipline as Horst Lichter withheld the dealer card when expert Heide Rezepa-Zabel valued a 1970s amethyst necklace at €3,000–€3,200 against the seller’s €6,000 minimum.
  • The broadcaster added an on-screen notice clarifying that an episode featuring a Günther Uecker lithograph was recorded before the artist’s death, and the work sold in the dealer room for €1,100.
  • Standout discoveries continued with an authenticated 1810 document signed by Napoleon Bonaparte that triggered competitive bidding and sold to dealer Susanne Steiger for €5,000.
  • The franchise remains a ratings draw, with DWDL-reported double-digit weekend shares across related broadcasts, as dealer segments also showcased quick-selling buys such as a rare Schuco traffic game and a Pumuckl animation cel.
