The Keramik Museum Schloss Ziegelberg was run by Dr Therèse Thomas.
The Museum was the second most visited Museum in the Saarland,
with 40,000 visitors per year,
right after the Saarland Museum, Saarbruecken.
It was a cultural highlight
for the entire Saar Lur Lux region
attracting visitors and ceramics lovers from far away.
The museum was closed in 1993 and reopened later
as an exposition hall in the impressive Old Abbey building
next to the "Expo Keravision"
and the showroom for the present sanitary and tile collection.
In April 2010 an Anna Boch exposition
will be inaugurated in this Building.
