Universitätsgebäude

The Universitätsgebäude in Würzburg is a protected architectural landmark that serves as both a functioning building and museum space housing historical and scientific collections. Its rooms are arranged to display exhibitions that offer insights into academic and research history.

The building dates to the 18th century and is closely tied to the founding of the University of Würzburg, where groundbreaking scientific work took place. Nobel laureates and their discoveries have permanently shaped the history of this site.

The building bears the name of physics Nobel laureate Wilhelm Röntgen, whose work took place here and shaped the institution's identity. Visitors encounter reminders of a scientific tradition that has helped define the city's character.

Visiting is possible on weekdays during daytime hours, while weekend opening times are shorter and the building closes entirely on holidays. It makes sense to check current hours before visiting, as these may vary depending on the season.

Beneath its roof are not only exhibition spaces but also research facilities where scientists continue to work on contemporary projects today. This blend of museum and active research makes visiting an encounter with living science, not merely its history.
