Insights into the history of X-rays: the Deutsches Röntgen-Museum in Remscheid

  • In 1895, Professor Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen detected a new kind of radiation that was able to penetrate solid materials, which he called x-rays. In 1901 Röntgen received the first Nobel Prize in physics in honour of this ground breaking discovery. The Deutsches Röntgen-Museum in Remscheid in Germany is the institution that uniquely and comprehensively explores and documents the life and work of W. C. Röntgen and the impact of his discovery. The museum’s location in Remscheid is not coincidental, with Röntgen’s birthplace only a short walk away from its exhibits. Every visit to the museum amounts to a unique expedition through the worlds of medicine, science, and technology. The museum’s emphasis on the diversity of Röntgen’s invention by a multilingual, multi-medial approach enables all visitors to make their own personal discoveries. The Deutsches Röntgen-Museum in Remscheid is a mustsee for x-ray scientists from anywhere in the world. This contribution provides an insight into the history of x-rays and offers a guided tour of the Deutsches Röntgen-Museum and its exhibits.
