The memorial commemorates Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, the first Nobel Prize winner for physics to teach at the University of Gießene. Ten steel rods run through a bronze body, which are supposed to symbolize the X-rays discovered by Röntgen.

The X-ray monument is a monument of the Berlin artist Erich Fritz Reuter in casting. It was built in 1962 in honor of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. It consists of metal rods that penetrate a natural stone and thus stylized the X-rays, X-ray's greatest discovery.
