The Wiesbaden lost and found office no longer holds public auctions on site. Lost property is offered exclusively on the Internet at www.zoll-auktion.de (opens in a new tab). In addition to the Wiesbaden lost and found office, other authorities throughout Germany also offer auctions here.

After creating a bidder account, you can view all current auctions and participate in them if you are interested. If you win an auction, you are obliged to transfer the auction proceeds to the Wiesbaden lost and found office within ten working days and to collect the item on site by prior appointment.

If you attend the auction in person, you can collect your lost property directly. Offered items such as smartphones, jewelry or clothing can also be sent if the buyer pays the postage costs. Please note that the transportation risk lies with the buyer.

Bulky items such as bicycles are generally only offered for collection. Shipping by the Wiesbaden lost and found office is excluded.
