Luxury Hotel Lubminer puts iconic table-kicker autographed by soccer star Toni Kroos up for bidding.
In a heartwarming event, a table football signed by German football star Toni Kroos was auctioned off for 5,362 € on August 25, 2025. The proceeds from this unique auction will benefit children and youth sports in Greifswald, the hometown of the football legend.
The auction took place during a celebration event at the Volksstadium, where Kroos played a friendly game with Minister President Manuela Schwesig, Mayor Dr. Stefan Fassbinder, and football enthusiast Maja. Kroos signed the table football during this event, adding a touch of authenticity to the item.
On July 18, 2025, Kroos was awarded the Order of Merit of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in his hometown of Greifswald. He also entered his name in the Golden Book of the city on this special day.
Dr. Stefan Fassbinder, the Mayor of Greifswald, expressed his satisfaction with the auction result. The funds will be used to support children and youth sports in Greifswald, including training camps and sports clothing for children from low-income families.
The new owner of the signed table football is the Hotel Seebruecke in Lubmin, a place with a personal connection to the Kroos family. Heidi Moritz, the senior manager of the Hotel Seebruecke, has known Toni and his brother Felix since their childhood. In fact, the family of Toni Kroos celebrated the 90th birthday of their grandfather at the Hotel Seebruecke.
However, the exact location where the signed table football will be displayed is not specified in the provided text. Dr. Stefan Fassbinder will present the signed table football to the city sports association in Greifswald in September, marking the official handover of this significant item.
This auction is a testament to the power of sports and community spirit. It not only celebrates the achievements of a local hero but also provides opportunities for the next generation of athletes in Greifswald.
