Foyer, Welcome

"Welcome here on this afternoon, when a festive sound fills the dreamy streets and corners of this so charming town, a place enlivened by the industry, competence and solidity of its people, the old Bergisch township of Lennep, which honours as its own one of the greatest sons of Germany, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. This afternoon we celebrate the opening of the Röntgen Museum, the first of its kind in the world, a museum both special and unique."

From an article in the Remscheid Generalanzeiger on the opening of the Röntgen Museum, June 18, 1932
