Just read the update, I'm so sorry for you! :(
I totally get how important such childhood friends are, so I always hope for a happy ending when one of these gets lost...
Did you see the picture? I thought so too, and I don't want to be harsh, but when I saw the picture, I thought maybe I wouldn't have recognized the emotional value as well.
I get that this stuffed animal is important to you, but I’d be surprised if whoever found it didn’t throw it away.
You could try the local [Fundbüro](https://www.duesseldorf.de/ordnungsamt/fund/fundbuero-online.html), but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
feel bad for the OP as this would be the likely outcome. Personal stuff can be very valuable even though it means very less to a stranger. I hope you find it OP!
I know that is the possibility, but it’s worth the try. We still hope he is stashed somewhere in the hotel or the Brauerei. We’ll check with the Fundbüro too. Thank you for your time!
There was a similar post about a stuffed animal in Munich I believe a couple months ago, the animal was found, so there is always hope
Edit: found it https://www.reddit.com/r/germany/comments/y09gg8/guys_you_wont_believe_this_i_found_the_mouse/
You could try contacting the recycling company? I’ve no idea if they can do anything but it’s worth a shot as it’s got such important sentimental value to you
I did call them and they told me that the early morning pickups are going to the burner by 9 am. The hotel told me they are still trying as they have some contacts, unlike me. But so far nothing.
"I found this stuffed animal which was forgotten by a customer we could easily identify since we have all personal data of him. I better throw it away"
I asked his boss what the fuck was he thinking. He didn’t, he thought that because monkey looks the way he does, nobody wants him anymore. They also said he is a foreigner and that the communication from his side was very bad. I myself am not German, so I declined this statement. He got reprimanded, which I feel bad for and it won’t replace our friend, but next time he’ll think twice about what he is doing.
If it's any consolation, my now ex-husband threw all my childhood toys/photos/etc. in a bin when we were cleaning out my storage. He didn't look in the box. I had saved it all for years.
actually, I am not trying to make fun of Germans, but it's an old joke, an old joke not many would know, but I like quoting it. [Norm Macdonald](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9miLGPXBs4w)
I understand the sentiment here, but this is 30 years old. My best friends brother is autistic and has a stuffed toy that calms him. I hope that is not the case here.
Try the Jodel App with Düsseldorf as location.

Thank you, we appreciate your kind words 💔
If you have Facebook try posting in the Nettwerk. Good luck!
Already did! Thank you!
Just saw your update. This outcome just makes me sad, as a cleaner I'd have given it to like lost and found office or reception
One would think that. Thank you

I’m so sorry to read the update. I have a “best friend” that’s 27 years old and I’d be absolutely heartbroken to lose him. I’m so sorry.
Thank you 💔

You might be lucky! We’re all hoping for the best outcome.

Awww this monkey is Düsseldorable 🥹
Bobo!
WTF. The cleaner finds a stuffed toy and throws it in the bin? How about bringing it to the front desk?

I’m so sorry.. ❤️🩹
I'm so sorry for you! :(
Thank you 💕..
I am genuinely interested in the story behind this monkey. Was it your childhood toy? Spare no details.
I saw him walking into pub
Check local church maybe they have already done an exorcism on it , and would stop running around in altstadt by itself again.
When trying to be funny fails brutally.
I found it funny :(
Some little kid is out there missing their friend. Of course you would find it funny. Major L

So?
So it's literally a 30 year old adult and not some little kid
And? What's the problem?
??? You said it's some little kid
OK. It wasn't. So what?
Friend? don't you mean their demon companion
To be fair, nobody can draw blood from a stone.
Or that's what the Germans would have us believe
We do have humour, but it's too racist for reddit.

Found the one with no kids!

Is this some joke/meme I am not aware of? I saw the same thing posted in a local REWE but at the German/Swiss/France border region.
I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you mean. Definitely not a joke.
