In particular, three things hold true for our visitors to the German Röntgen Museum: be active for yourself and get going on your very own discovery tour. Every journey is an expedition and adventure through the worlds of medicine, science and technology. In this respect we focus on diversity as well as on a multi-media and multilingual approach and make sure that every visitor can make her or his own individual discoveries. Quite in line with Röntgen’s motto: “I only feel happy when I can experiment”, everyone can become actively involved here. And because our visitors are so different to one another, we also offer age-related guided tours for the young and old – as well as a range of options for school classes and child groups. Here, for example, the Mini-Club target children attending primary school. However, we are absolutely certain that there is something for everyone here.

Of course, the location of our Museum is not just a coincidence. The house where Röntgen was born is more or less just around the corner – barely 200 metres away from the Museum. And, admittedly, that was the reason for us to commit to the pioneering discoveries of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. His birthplace has been  modernised with the support of the German Radiological Society and is open for visitors from all over the world in the spring of 2020. But even today, the world of science is already setting its sights on the Röntgen Mecca in the Bergisches Land. And particularly than when the Röntgen Medal of the City of Remscheid is awarded to leading scientists and Nobel prize winners. And for all those scientists who would like to come along and marvel, the house of Röntgen’s birth is also offering various conference and event options.
