Physikalisches Institut der Universität Würzburg
(1879-1978)
In diesem Gebäude, dem ehemaligen Physikalischen Institut
der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, entdeckte
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen am 8. November 1895 die nach ihm
benannten Strahlen.
Seine Entdeckung, für die er 1901 den weltweit ersten
Nobelpreis für Physik erhielt, revolutionierte die medizinische
Diagnostik, die zerstörungsfreie Materialcharakterisierung
sowie die Naturwissenschaften grundlegend. Heute werden
Röntgenstrahlen in unzähligen Anwendungen in der Physik,
Astronomie, Chemie, Biologie, Medizin, Materialforschung,
Bauteilprüfung und in der Sicherheitstechnik eingesetzt.
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen war der erste einer ganzen
Reihe von Nobelpreisträgern, darunter Emil Fischer,
Svante Arrhenius, Eduard Buchner, Karl Ferdinand Braun,
Wilhelm Wien, Max von Laue, Johannes Stark, Walther
Nernst und Klaus von Klitzing, die im Laufe ihrer
wissenschaftlichen Karriere in Physik und Chemie an
der Universität Würzburg lehrten und forschten und
ihr weltweites Renommee stärkten.

Physics
Institute of the University of Wuerzburg (1879-1978)
In this building, the former Physical Institute of the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered on November 8, 1895, the rays named after him.
His discovery, for which in 1901 he received the world's first
Nobel Prize for Physics, revolutionized the foundation of medical
diagnostics and the non-destructive characterization of matter,
as well as the natural sciences overall. Today
X-rays are used in countless applications in physics,
astronomy, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials science,
component testing, and safety technology.
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was the first of a whole
series of Nobel Prize winners, including Emil Fischer,
Svante Arrhenius, Eduard Buchner, Karl Ferdinand Braun,
Wilhelm Wien, Max von Laue, Johannes Stark, Walther
Nernst and Klaus von Klitzing, who in the course of their
scientific career taught and researched physics and chemistry
at the University of Würzburg, and in doing so
increased their reputation worldwide.
