Röntgendenkmal, Scientific monument in Giessen, Germany
The Röntgendenkmal features metal rods penetrating through natural stone, representing X-rays in a physical three-dimensional interpretation of the discovery.
Created by sculptor Erich Fritz Reuter in 1962, this monument pays tribute to Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen who served as professor at Giessen University from 1879 to 1888.
The monument stands in the Theater Park next to the City Theater, symbolizing the connection between scientific advancement and public education in German society.
