Fulbright U.S. Administrators in Germany Program

Six of us made the journey to Siegburg. We were met at the Siegburg/Bonn railway station by our host Laura Berger. The Hotel zum Stern is a short walk from the station and situated on the edge of the main city square. From my window (attached picture) I can see the Siegessäle (Victory column) and beyond that the Benedictine monastery Michaelsberg Abbey, which was founded in 1064. Siegburg is famous for its pottery, especially for the Siegburg pitchers (Siegburger Krüge). I am hoping to see examples of Siegburg pottery at the Stadtmuseum Siegburg and maybe include a picture in the next edition of “Ceramic Materials”.
