Directions

The German Roentgen Museum is dedicated to theX-ray inventor Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. He was born in 1845 in the family of a textilemanufacturer in Lennep. In 1895, while working in the University of Wurzburg,he discovered the rays, which are currently known as Roentgen rays or X-rays.As a result, Roentgen has become the first Nobel Laureate in Physics.
