Saarländisches Zweiradmuseum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saarländisches Zweiradmuseum is a motorcycle museum in Saarland, Germany.

The owners of the site of the museum, Villeroy & Boch closed the museum on September 30, 2007. They planned to build a factory outlet center on the premises.[1] The museum announced that they would seek a new location, probably at the Völklingen Ironworks.[2] The museum was temporarily moved to an old cinema in Voelkingen, but the ironworks location could not be accepted due to the 2 million Euro cost of renovation.[3]
