Marion Fedder Finds 'Das Boot' Peugeot 402 After Long-Lost Key Turns Up

She plans a faithful restoration to return the screen-used car to view.

Overview

  • Marion Fedder disclosed Wednesday that she discovered an original Peugeot 402 from the film Das Boot in Jan Fedder’s old garage after locating a long-missing key.
  • The car will go to a specialized workshop for a full restoration to match its on-screen appearance in the film.
  • The Peugeot 402, built between 1935 and 1942, was brought to Hamburg by Jan Fedder after filming around 1980 and then sat untouched for about 46 years.
  • Fedder said she is gathering other unique items from Das Boot and may pass some along so fans and colleagues can enjoy them.
  • In recent years she has auctioned parts of the late actor’s estate and directed proceeds to causes he valued, reinforcing efforts to preserve the legacy of the Großstadtrevier star.
