Biography of the exhibitor:My name is Detlef Zschiegner, born in 1956 in Altenburg (Thuringia), where I still live today. I have been collecting match labels and matchboxes since 1968 with a focus on the labels. At the beginning of October 2023, the collection comprised around 103,500 items, including around 7,500 book keys and boxes and around 96,000 labels. The most intensive period of my collecting activity was between 1968 and 1990, when I was a member of the AG-Phillumenie Altenburg and also took part in the annual exhibitions. Between 1991 and 2016, I was only able to maintain my collection very sporadically for professional reasons. Since 2017, more intensive collecting has been an integral part of my life again.
Since 2021, as a collector from Germany, I participated in the international online exhibition of matchboxes and matches organized by Bangladesh Matchbox Collector's Club (BMCC). Since 2021, I have also taken the opportunity to take part in the Phillonex exhibition at the Swiss Match Museum every year. In addition to a variety of different national collections, the focus of my work as a collector is on my motif collections. These are:
vehicles; coats of arms and flags; costumes; Plant; Animals; Sport;
Fire protection + accident prevention & traffic education & architecture.
