Der größte Autofriedhof der Schweiz - 1000 Fahrzeuge in Gürbetal

It's a Garden of Eden for former enthusiasts, but Switzerland's most unusual car graveyard is now condemned to death. The authorities demand the immediate closure of the area, as if it were a funeral, the historic tin treasures are hidden under their feet. hammer at a gigantic auction It's a life's work before the end like a cemetery where the tombstones have to be removed, the cars live here and outside they are buried there under moss-covered leaves, rusty and dusty, in the Swiss Kaufdorf. There is an enchanted forest of technology, endless rows of faded automobile history, a place of pilgrimage for lovers, around 81 proud automobiles are here.

Found his final resting place. Franz Messer is the owner of this unique rose. In 1976 he took charge of it. Walter's father's old parking lot, but now the end of the junkyard is sealed. Mess has to say goodbye to his beloved badge. It's like a funeral, I would say shortly before the funeral, because it's just the work of a lifetime. of father, family and I together yes, now it has come to an end, the Swiss authorities demand that the area be completely cleaned. It is said that the land is contaminated with poisons after years of fighting and that it was necessary to preserve her life's work. fact Franz Messerli is finally beaten by the officials, that's all we say, they are all armchair farts and armchair glue and they have their salary and in their private life they are all psychopaths anyway, or and their strength is only there when they are sitting at the desk and when they do so they can exercise their power but generally there is only one hollrung Hollowraumehandlung I would say that it would be necessary in the head mess it is bitter the authorities threaten eviction and scrapping of historic vehicles, even the rare Two Porsche 356 from the 50s would be lost forever 5 km away.

There is also a Porsche 356 further away in the town of Toffen, but it is in top condition. The cult car is part of the inventory of vintage car dealer Reinhard Schmidlin. Schmidlin has been selling authentic classics for 25 years. He is supposed to auction off Franz Messerli's 800 vehicles in a gigantic auction. He knows how much money the precious scrap will bring. Not even the expert knows exactly. that easy to estimate because it is really something unique and also the last time because you don't have the opportunity to auction a junkyard like that every day. The auction is probably still the best of the bad solutions or if the community exists.

The caterpillars go up, everything is destroyed and that was the basic idea. Messerli really accepted this solution and the most difficult thing was to register these almost 800 car bodies and register them somewhere so that he could tell people something. This 50-year-old man is in the final phase of his preparations and the dealership makes money with each car auctioned, but Schmidlin did not accept the project for pure profit. I was already a child with the small motorcycle and that was it. in this junkyard and I also stocked up on spare parts there, so there was a personal connection to the place and to this strange bird, the disaster that clearly exists and, in fact, I was always in favor of preserving this junkyard. scrap metal and those are some things. went wrong and of course in retrospect you know where you would have put it, that there might have been a chance that it still existed today or that it could continue to exist etc. but it just hit a dead end somewhere and I'll just repeat that the auction is simply about the bad solutions, the best ones for exactly a week.

Corpses wander through the Messeri automobile cemetery. Potential buyers and the curious will visit the legendary vehicles. Tomorrow the big auction starts and everyone is waiting for a bargain. 2,000 visitors are expected Organizer Schmidlin invested 30,000 francs in the auction and knows that the owner of the Messer scrapyard has sad hours ahead of him, Franz, don't you want to say goodbye to your cars again? I know it's very difficult for you, but come on, let's go again, now there are not so many people there, okay, go back there and then you have to make it a bitter farewell for FRZ, a disaster, the sale of some rarities, at least I could win a lot of money. we have hundreds, really Franz, we have hundreds of written offers, some, of course, ridiculous amounts, but others also amounts where I have to say, hey, schappo, that's there, that's it, that's good money, that's it the shame of my uncle, who was from the RO where he was from.

Bruno's father's BR exactly right, yes, that's where Bruno is also because of him. I think the rear light is gone now on the britzel yes that has evaporated the cats the money leaves the knives the cold at the last minute he hatched a desperate plan for a million francs he could detoxify the soil and then put it back the cars in the place. His idea was to appeal to potential buyers. Immediately before the auction, the auction would have collapsed for Schmidtlen, meaning a huge loss for Messerli. his plan Suppose there are 2,000 people there, and each one puts his hand in his jacket and takes out the 500 francs, we would have a million together and with the millions we can renovate the Fedhof, so I have it written mhm del sch y. that means the cars fix the floor, so make the floor cars like a self 1 with humus but adjust the W and the story, but that's yours again.

Strange ideas, well, I find them entertaining but we still have to talk about them because I have to know how you plan to communicate tomorrow, the two of us would, of course, go down in history, so you go down in history I have a failed auction or Franz Messer is let go Before the auction he wants to launch an appeal to preserve The place for the organizer Schmidlin is a completely new situation, at the last second the auction could fail due to Messer Dickschädel. The big auction will begin the next day. According to potential car buyers.

Dear grieving community, we all gather here to bury. About 3,000 visitors came to our beloved car cemetery in Kaufdorf, but Franz Messer locked himself in his office. I think so, I hope to have as much strength as possible shortly before his request for donations. Classic car fans have come a long way and are eager to get their hands on a rarity at auction. Now I have to prove whether the junkyard owner can change his mind. Now I can ask Franz Messer, as an ancestor, to give us a final word. from the author Hello, good morning. I am happy with the friends of L W's appeal where all the time has been delayed.

Now the FR R that has almost put in place here and everyone from the 500 and the cemetery, thank you very much. No matter how much the public reacts without understanding, the desperate attempt has failed. Now it's Reinhard Schmittli. The organizer also tries to make the cars attractive to interested parties during the auction. There are no minimum bids, not all cars sell, regardless of price. demolition, the auctioneer earns a buyer's premium of 12% and there we have it, there we have it, yes, that is Vehicle what do you think what parts do you need or want to restore it I think piece by piece the object of desire It is a Chrysler limousine of the year 1948 in good condition and valued at about 20,000 francs.

The bidder must assess for himself whether it is worth repairing. Then I wish you good luck. Sandro Vogel came to the auction from the Austrian top MS. The old friend is. Sandro is dedicated to classic American sleds and hopes to get a bargain at auction that can be restored. In addition to several classics from the 50s, Sandro had a Chevrolet Camaro. I like a muscle car with a powerful V8 engine, so that would primarily be the vehicle. I'd like to have it, it's been around since '17 so it's a '69 Camaro, but in top condition it's very TEU and in bad condition we'll probably see a lot at auction that can still be salvaged.

Work but it can be saved. there, but the condition, well, look at the forest floor and neighbor F also a car in similar condition only completely and that was interesting and that was interesting, so it had an impact at the age of 8 or yes, 8 years old, no normal person would do it. You can't spend a cent for this piece of junk, but car enthusiast Sandro sees it differently and is counting on it being the only increase to 500,600 francs, but I'm afraid there are already written offers. Look at 6000. 6250 francs are offered 350 400 for the first The second and last time for Sandro Ernst is lot number 637, the auctioneer asks francs for me the object of his desire 2,700 francs for Sandro even exceeds his limit of 600 francs but the competition remains stubbornly willing for 900 francs the Camaro follows the path of Sandro arrived free from Austria, some of the old cars sell for considerable sums of money.

Two bidders make sure to buy a Landscher convertible from the year 1950 and drive the price up higher and higher. francs and Latte multiplied by 8,000 francs Not that a restoration is out of the question, but it is a wonderful, wonderful vehicle and now he has to watch his beloved cars change hands, never donated, followed by Dieeter, he has no sympathy left after. The move is a catastrophe at the junkyard with his loved ones. Chapa appreciates his life's work and that of his father breaks down car after car. The elderly lover Martin Leithäuser and his wife Renato have come from their retirement area.

The inhabitants of Solingen have fallen in love with a sad-looking Opel Olympia 732. Good thing, so much money for so much rust and I have different things, there is no more space in the trunk for the Prime. I like the car for 1,500 francs, the 61-year-old has set the limit for it. The fight for the classic car begins. No, wait, there is a second competition for the W. Martin Leithäuser is especially happy with a nice Opel Olympia. Ruh area or not. The rusty pot now officially belongs to Leithäusersch. Now I have to come from Solingen, I have to bring her home, so someone has to send someone to carry her, I don't even know how.

In order to cross the border, you will surely have to fill out huge forms. Furthermore, the last of the approximately 500 vehicles in Hammerfeld has changed hands, the auction profit was 450,000 Swiss francs. Franz Messerli, there is no reason to be happy for me, it's like a serious grip from everyone who comes and crashes the car somewhere and says and is looking for something profor and wants to believe something and so on and I don't. two weeks later an excavator breaks the shotti title Franz Messerli stays away from cleaning work ROG Linder his long-time employee is responsible for the recovery of old vehicles they are not a catastrophe for me, in principle I did not do it No I wanted to do that at all and my friends convinced me that I was the man who had to do it or someone else would go in there as a Bersker or else it's hard for me because it's like a cemetery where you have to put tombstones.

The cars live here and are finished outside. Decades ago, our father had created a forest around the junkyard following instructions from the authorities. Now ROG Linder wants the old trees to suffer as little damage as possible if really large pieces have been produced. Already grown, there is no point in cutting down a tree like that for a bit of scrap metal and sometimes Nast has to believe in it if it doesn't work with the hoses on the stand and so on, but I would like to preserve nature as such. As much as possible The stork posts have already grown, we have removed the Venetian tree in front of the storstang.

Classic car lover Martin Leithäuser has returned from Solingen. Opel Olympia. The story is really exciting from start to finish, so this point now is also exciting because the question is how does everything get out of the ground and stay intact? B. I can bring everything home and how I get it. the trailer to the garden at home MS let's see about the Opel, what does the little Opel do? Exactly, is it still there? Yes, now we will give it a new home. Okay, how exciting is the exhumation of the old Opel? it's complicated a special frame is supposed to keep the classic car from falling apart ROG Linder carefully fixes the four wheels with straps he has to apply the pulling force of the crane to distribute evenly 40 years he was in the car graveyard now he has to leave his last high place again great not much off the ground looks good there is still an empty grave with four holes remaining apart from a sad mood now the Opel just has to open it in one piece create the car trailer that was great thanks Thank you very much, it was a great try.

Now, inspired by Christo Martin, we package the rostopel with velvet lubmos and cobwebs in transparent film. Fingers on the back. We meet again to pay for the salvage work that the new Opel owners still have to do. Once at Franz Messerli's office and we load it, pack it and it will return to nature, it is very sad, well, it will continue to live with us, now Franz Messer will continue to live completely. New plans for the cleared area for the community that destroyed his junkyard, I will rent the space later to this traveler, so the community has some of that too, that's the last one, thelast trump card, so we will carry it well packaged.

Now the thick stuff stays, everything stays the leaves, the cobwebs, everything stays, it gets pretty, you have to put it exactly like that, yes, it comes to the front, it looks very good, a little moss is put underneath. , land around, then you can have a bed, yes, then you can continue sleeping in peace, preferably like this Schi is a photo WD I am very happy, thank you very much, so a piece of the legendary Swiss scrapyard The remains are preserved in a garden forward in Solingen, but Franz Messeri's work is now just a case for the archive, there are 70 years of history and practically all of them have the anecdotes in the car or know exactly who drove it. , all is in vain, all is lost, all is lost, but maybe in a few years you will see some of these objects again on our streets, proud and shiny with chrome, as they were more than 40 years ago.
