Germany, a country of inventors

Things are now going to get a little more scientific, as we present German inventors. But have no fear: we are not going to be asking you about the laws of physics or the technical workings of machines. We will be focusing on the inventors themselves, some of whom you probably already know. And if not, we will now introduce them to you.

Ever heard the name Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen? He was the first winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, back in 1901. He made his greatest discovery pretty much by chance, however.

Our question: What did Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discover?

The pathogens that cause illness X-rays The currywurst

We want to protect your privacy

A website that contains such buttons transmits personal data to the relevant social networks without your consent. You do not have to have pressed the button for this. This contradicts the German data protection regulations.
In order to protect your privacy, the Goethe-Institut uses a so-called 2-click solution. This is used in a similar form by numerous website operators and is very easy to use.

Recommend article on goethe.de

This is how the 2-click solution works: When you are on goethe.de, the recommendation function of the buttons is inactive by default. With just a few clicks you have the opportunity to change this:

1. With the first click an explanatory window opens.

2. With the second click you can give your consent for the recommendation function of the social networks to be activated.
