Successful businessman Peter Zgonc was a devoted philatelist with a particular penchant for rare specimens of exceptionally high quality. His untimely death in October 2017 deprived the philatelistic world of a passionate and generous collector, whose commercial success enabled him to build up one of the largest collections of philately from his native Austria.
He was also very interested in all German collection fields from German antiquity onwards and it was a great privilege to be able to present a small section of it.
The historic Schlosshotel Hugenpoet on the banks of the Ruhr was a fitting location for this special occasion on 11 January 2019.
