Overview
- The auction house has catalogued the collection and moved it to an auction hall in Klagenfurt, with a public viewing set for November 17 and online bidding scheduled for November 18–20 on topversteigerung.at.
- The sale lists more than 1,200 lots that span furniture, art, jewellery, clothing and cars, including a bespoke Venetian marital bed, an enzian‑blue BMW Z4 (minimum €10,000), a Bentley (minimum €25,000) and a painting linked to Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
- Heino, 87, framed the sale as a deliberate decision to let others enjoy the items and described it as a step of personal closure following the death of his wife Hannelore in November 2023.
- Reports say the items were gathered from roughly 60 years and three households in Florida, Bad Münstereifel and Kitzbühel, and were transported to Klagenfurt in what some outlets described as three trucks for cataloguing and sale preparation.
- Coverage notes minor discrepancies in early reports that cited about 1,000 items and unclear timing, while the auction house catalogue and press release remain the primary sources for the full item count, minimum bids and the November schedule.
