Aix-Phila scheduled its 78th auction in Kerpen from 10 to 14 November 2026. The five-day programme opened with two stand-alone catalogues. The morning session offered lots 1–741 under the title “Jahre des Neubeginns”; the afternoon session offered lots 750–1038 under “Advocatus ex Colonia”.

The regular stamp sessions followed the two named collections. The timetable put single lots through the German Empire on 11 November, followed by material from the German colonies through the Federal Republic on 12 November. Single lots from Europe and overseas occupied Friday morning. That afternoon’s programme moved to estates and collections, including Germany before 1945. Saturday’s collections session covered later Germany, Europe, overseas and thematic material.

The auction house announced that its catalogues would be available online from 12 October, with printed copies due to go out at the same time. The cover of the main catalogue shows a registered cover with mixed franking alongside two coins.
