In the latter role, he led the house out of severe internal turbulence, initiated an ambitious reform process and, at the same time, as curator, designed the shipping exhibition, which opened in December 2003 and with which the museum was able to significantly increase its visitor numbers. Mainly due to the increased collective bargaining agreement in the public sector, the museum had a budget deficit of over 300,000 euros in 2007, as a result of which it had to lay off around 50 of the formerly over 200 museum employees.
