Zusammenfassung

The first application of X-ray techniques to human beeings was made in Germany by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (nov 1895). Improving this first realisation, different groups became interested to realize and ameliorate the technical devices.

Focusing on Germany, in honour of the centenary of the awarding (Rötgen, 1901), we present some of the first Nobel Prize in Physics of the milestones in X-rays imaging,from the first pioneer’s approach on glass plates,cathodic X-ray tubes, fluoroscopy, earlier communications leading to X-ray-films and screens, rotating X-ray tubes, tomography and CT, classic textbooks, radioprotection aspects, as well as some contibutions in radiological techniques and ortho-pedic pathology.
