Overview

• ZDF confirmed the next primetime special will air on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 20:15, themed “Voll im Trend” and featuring YouTube and podcast duo Niklas van Lipzig and David Martin (“Die Dudes”), with streaming to follow in the Mediathek.
• ZDF also announced season two of Waldi’s documentary series “Waldis Welt” with six new episodes from Sunday, Nov. 9 at 14:00, available online for a year after a first season that drew a 12.9% share and over 1.2 million viewers.
• Walter “Waldi” Lehnertz created a first for the show by overbidding himself four times on a red children’s pedal car, later describing the purchase as a “sympathy bid.”
• Recent sales underscored frequent gaps between estimates and bids, including a 19th‑century pearl‑and‑diamond collier that went for €5,500 to Lisa Nüdling and a rare Leipzig leather set that fetched €1,500 after a €250–300 appraisal.
• Personality‑driven moments continued to trend, from Julian Schmitz‑Avila paying €650 for an Andy Warhol‑signed cigarette pack to a seller named Gabriele leaving with €250 after dealers bid on what experts identified as a low‑value print.
