Mourning for Dr. Michael Schieber

Our former museum director Dr. Michael Schieber passed away on 05.07.2025.

As director of the RiesKraterMuseum from its founding in 1990 until the end of 2010, Dr. Schieber breathed the soul into our museum that still characterizes it today and which will be preserved.

We will remember him as a warm, humorous and enthusiastic person who always had an open ear for his employees and who played a key role in shaping this museum as an exciting place for young and old, for experts and laypeople alike. We are very sorry for his loss and remain connected to the Schieber family in sympathy and gratitude.
