Würzburg is in Bayern, in the south, the country's industrial powerhouse around Munich and Stuttgart with the Alps and the Black Forest on the doorstep; winters bring snow and the occasional warm Föhn wind, summers are the warmest in Germany, and living costs are the highest. German addresses put the street name before the house number, followed by the five-digit postcode and the town, as in "Marienplatz 8, 80331 München". The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Difficult to find as poorly signposted, but up the steps just off the main road. Small; a corridor, one open room, and another room visible through a glass door. Some antique lab equipment, posters in German and English. Decent toilet, no refreshments. Given Roentgen's contribution to Human welfare, a bit underwhelming; but perhaps appropriate in view of his personal reticence.

It’s a public exhibition with self viewing. Interesting to learn how humble he was and how he persisted with his education.

Actually this place should be called ‘ Mini Museum of The “Dr. X-Ray”’. I’m sure that not so many people know about the discovery and the connection between X-Ray and Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. Even I was really surprised to know that his discovery of X-Ray was in Würzburg! 😲 I was also really surprised to find out that the entrance is free of charge! Visiting the “Röntgen Gedächtnisstätte” in Würzburg is an enlightening experience. This memorial site is dedicated to Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, the brilliant physicist who discovered X-rays. The museum is thoughtfully curated, providing detailed insights into Röntgen's life, his groundbreaking discovery, and its immense impact on science and medicine. The exhibits include fascinating artifacts and well-presented information that make the visit both educational and inspiring. The exhibitions are very educational and informative. Even though I wasn’t particularly interested in history, I was very glad to come to learn about the life of Professor Röntgen and to pay my homage. Personally I think this place has to be on one of the must-visit list in Würzburg. If you have an interest in the history of science, this is a must-see in Würzburg!

As a radiologist (and therefore a nerd) I thought it was so cool. This is on the university campus. We went when school was likely not in session, and in the evening. You legitimately just walk up this nondescript staircase (although there are small flags and a placard) and let yourself in. We didn't see anyone else while we were there. There are a couple cool short informational videos and a small exhibit. And - you can see his actual lab equipment. Nerd heaven. It's not large, you likely won't need more than 30 minutes.

This University of Würzburg building has a nice memorial to physicist Wilhelm Röntgen who discovered x-rays and their practical use. The museum-like memorial is in a long hallway with a vestibule and a lobby at the ends. In addition there are two rooms, one locked containing his original laboratory and the other open with a display of period scientific instruments. The hallway has quite a bit of biographical information presented in a timeline format. The display includes the Nobel Prize certificate awarded to Röntgen.
