Würzburg is the location of Wilhelm Röntgen's original laboratory, where he discovered x-rays. The University granted Alexander Graham Bell an honorary Ph.D. for his pioneering scientific work. Würzburg is also the location of the Würzburg Residence (Würzburger Residenz), a large baroque building that is designated a World Heritage Site, by UNESCO. It is also the hometown of NBA star Dirk Nowitzki.
