Anyone know of this 2007 German LOTR calendar?

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone knows of this 2007 German LOTR calendar. I have a picture of the outside and one of the inside, but after scouring the internet, I can't find it anywhere. It might be harder because I'm not from Germany, but I'd like to try and find this calendar. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

October “The Dark Tower”

I have a bunch of calendars, journals and promo materials of LOTR from back in the day but they aren’t with me at the moment. I’ll see if I can find you some more information about this one unless someone else gets to it first.

Perhaps Olwe can help with more information, or you could ask René at TolkienShop.com as I am sure he would have some more info for you. I haven't seen it before!

I did contact Rene and he hadn't seen it before either, unfortunately. I'll try Olwe. Thanks for the help!

Did you ask the publisher? It’s HEYE. They are specialised in calendars and are still publishing LotR and Hobbit calenders in Germany.

I contacted their reseller per their suggestion. Hoping to hear back from them.

As Laurin said - HEYE had the license (I presume) to do calendars, postcard calendars etc. basically from the "start" - but as such items, particularly the over-sized calendars are often 'seasonal' in the sense of bookshops will stock them only for a certain amount of time they are usually discarded pretty quickly - or only printed in small runs.

See their site now:
https://heye-kalender.de/kalender-tag/herr-der-ringe/

You will stand a pretty good chance of getting the postcard versions - but the large size calendars are next to impossible to buy anywhere.

Unless you are truly lucky, of course

Thanks for this. I contacted HEYE's reseller site & unfortunately they don't have any of their older calendars available. :/ Guess I just have to wait & see if I can find someone who has it. There's always hope! Nothing's impossible to find.
