Auction House Christoph Gärtner GmbH & Co. KG is your partner for philately and numismatics. Owner-managed and operating since 1984, the Gärtner Auction and Trading House is now one of the world's largest companies in this industry.
Christoph Gärtner has been a passionate collector since the age of nine. Therefore, he decided to turn his hobby into a career and started his own business immediately after graduating from high school. His first price list was four pages long. From an early age, he set the goal of establishing himself on the international market. Within two decades, the company developed into the world's leading trading house for postal stationery and a specialist in thematic and postal history. With an eye on the future, the Gärtner Auction House was founded in 2004. Since April 2005, the Gärtner Trading and Auction Houses have been combined in the company's own building. Spacious viewing and storage rooms, as well as a dedicated auction hall, offer sufficient scope for additional philatelic activities in the long term. In June 2006, Christoph Gärtner successfully held his first international auction. After just the fourth auction in September 2007, the company was among the most successful auction and trading houses worldwide. Today, the auction house conducts three to four international public auctions per year.
