A small laboratory located in the former Physical Institute of the University of Wurzburg, now the University of Applied Sciences Wurzburg, was the sight of one of the most important scientific breakthroughs in medical history. On November 8th, 1895, Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen discovered a new kind of ray, which he called X-rays. Opened in 1985, this historic site honors W.C. Rontgen and his discovery, while providing an insight into physics of the late 19th century.
