Places to see in ( Aachen - Germany )
Aachen is a spa city near Germany’s borders with Belgium and the Netherlands. Aachen Cathedral was founded around 800 A.D. and a Gothic chancel was added later. Its Domschatzkammer (treasury) has medieval artifacts including the shrine of Charlemagne, who was buried here in 814 A.D. Nearby is the baroque town hall, Aachener Rathaus, with 19th-century frescoes. Sulfurous water fills the fountains of Elisenbrunnen.
Aachen has been around for millennia. The Romans nursed their war wounds and stiff joints in the steaming waters of its mineral springs, but it was Charlemagne who put the city firmly on the European map. The emperor, too, enjoyed a dip now and then, but it was more for strategic reasons that he made Aachen the geographical and political capital of his vast Frankish Empire in 974 – arguably the first empire with European dimensions.
Today, Aachen is still a quintessentially international city that gets unique appeal from its location in the border triangle with the Netherlands and Belgium. Charlemagne’s legacy lives on in the stunning Dom, which in 1978 became Germany’s first Unesco World Heritage Site, as well as in the new Centre Charlemagne and the Route Charlemagne walking trail. Aachen has a lively vibe that's further enhanced by a large student population.
Aachen is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, at the point where Germany borders on Belgium and the Netherlands. Historically this spa-town was a prominent city, the place where the German Kings were crowned, and a famously favoured residence of Charlemagne who still lies buried in the impressive cathedral he himself had built. The city is packed with historic sights that remind of those days, including medieval buildings, city gates and beautiful fountains. Today, Aachen has become a pleasant mix of historic (often Baroque) grandeur and modern innovation. It has a population of 246,000 and is home to a large and highly regarded university. All in all, a place well worth visiting.
The old town is best explored on foot and orientation signs can be found all around. Aachen at a whole is a fairly large city. A car can come in handy but parking can get expensive, especially in the center of town. Fortunately, Aachen has an excellent city bus system, operated by ASEAG, including a few night bus lines. You can get tickets from the bus driver. You can rent a bike at the fahrrad station, in the central train station. Although it is not the most biker-friendly town in Germany, there are a number of bike routes and getting around on bike is increasingly popular. Taxis are readily available on the train stations but also on streets.

Our city exploration of Aachen starts at the central station. We mainly came to Aachen to see the historical testimonies of Charlemagne, like the Aachen Cathedral and the City Hall, as well as the Christmas Market, but we show these parts in separate videos.About 300 m west of the central station is the Marschiertor, built in the 13th century. It used to be the ancient southern gate of the Aachen city wall. Today it serves as the clubhouse of the carnival society Stadtgarde Oecher Penn von 1857 e.V. In addition to a festival hall, there is a wine cellar, a taproom, and other rooms. The festival hall offers space for 200 guests.
In Theaterstraße, we pass the Historical Institute of the RWTH (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen), obviously in a former government building.
To the right is the back of the Theater Aachen, a cultural institution for drama and musical theater. The theater opened in 1825.
Only a few meters from the Elisenbrunnen fountain, a market takes place. This time we take the time to have a closer look at the hall with the fountains and the archaeological excavations in the park.
Passing the fountain Circulation of money and the puppet fountain, we reach the Hof square. The square is one of the most popular and beautiful places in the city. In summer, you can sit here outside and drink a glass.
The monument at the Hühnermarkt square shows a chicken thief. A boy wanted to steal a hen in the dark. Unfortunately, he caught a cockerel. The cockerel began to crow loudly, and thus the crime came to light.
We have already wondered several times about a sign, which can be found in many places on brass plates on the pavement.
On the market square in front of the town hall, we discover it on the wall of a pharmacy. And here we get the explanation. Since Charlemagne could not write, he signed documents with the Golden Stroke.
At the Büchel, we find a monument of the Bahkauv. This legendary figure from Aachen is said to live in the sewers of the thermal springs.

Unsere Stadterkundung von Aachen beginnt am Hauptbahnhof. Hauptsächlich sind wir wegen der historischen Zeugnisse von Karl dem Großen, wie dem Aachener Dom und dem Rathaus, sowie dem Weihnachtsmarkt hierher gekommen, doch diese Teile zeigen wir in separaten Videos.
Rund 300 m westlich befindet sich das Marschiertor. Das ehemalige Südtor der Aachener Stadtmauer wurde im 13. Jahrhundert errichtet. Heute benutzt die Karnevalsgesellschaft Stadtgarde „Oecher Penn von 1857 e.V.“ als Vereinslokal. Neben einem Festsaal gibt es einen Weinkeller, einen Schankraum und weitere Räume. Der Festsaal bietet Platz für 200 Gäste.In der Theaterstraße treffen wir auf das Historische Institut der RWTH (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen), das offensichtlich in einem ehemaligen Regierungsgebäude untergebracht wurde.
Rechts daneben befindet sich die Rückseite des Theaters Aachen. Es ist eine Kultureinrichtung für Schauspiel und Musiktheater. Das Theater wurde 1825 eröffnet.
Nur wenige Meter am Elisenbrunnen sind gerade einige Marktstände aufgebaut. Diesmal nehmen wir uns die Zeit die Halle mit den Brunnen und die archäologischen Ausgrabungen im Park genauer zu besichtigen.
Vorbei am Brunnen „Kreislauf des Geldes“ und dem Puppenbrunnen erreichen wir den Hof. Der Hof ist einer der beliebtesten und schönsten Plätze der Stadt. Im Sommer kann man hier im Freien sitzen und ein Glas trinken.
Das Denkmal am Hühnermarkt zeigt einen Hühnerdieb. Er wollte in der Dunkelheit eine Henne stehlen. Dummerweise erwischte er aber einen Hahn. Der Hahn begann laut zu krähen und so wurde der Diebstahl offenkundig.
Wir haben uns schon mehrmals über ein Zeichen gewundert, das an vielen Stellen auf Messingplättchen auf dem Straßenpflaster zu finden ist.
Am Marktplatz vor dem Rathaus entdecken wir es an der Wand einer Apotheke mit Erläuterung. Da Karl der Große nicht Schreiben konnte, unterschrieb er Dokumente mit dem 'Goldenen Strich'.
Am Büchel finden wir ein Denkmal des Bahkauv (Bachkalb), einer Sagengestalt aus Aachen, die im Abwasserkanal der Thermalquellen hausen soll.
Die Adalbertstraße ist eine von mehreren Einkaufstraßen der Stadt. Wir folgen ihr bis zur Propsteikirche Sankt Adalbert. Die Kirche wurde auf Beschluss von Kaiser Otto III, nach dem Tod und der Heiligsprechung des Bischofs Adalbert von Prag, zur Aufbewahrung von Reliquien von ihm und dem Hl. Hermes errichtet.

Aachen or Bad Aachen, traditionally known in English and French as Aix-la-Chapelle is a spa and border city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Aachen was the preferred residence of Charlemagne, and, from 936 to 1531, the place where 31 Holy Roman Emperors were crowned Kings of the Germans. Aachen is the westernmost city in Germany, located near the borders with Belgium and the Netherlands, 61 km (38 mi) west south west of Cologne in a former coal-mining area. RWTH Aachen University is located in the city. Aachen's industries include science, engineering and information technology. In 2009, Aachen was ranked eighth among cities in Germany for innovation.
Aachen is located in the middle of the Meuse–Rhine Euroregion, close to the border tripoint of Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The city of Heerlen in the Netherlands lies nearby, as does Eupen, the capital of the German-speaking Community of Belgium, both located about 20 km (12.4 mi) from Aachen's city centre. Aachen lies near the head of the open valley of the River Wurm (which today flows through the city in canalised form), part of the larger basin of the River Meuse.
Aachen's railway station, the Hauptbahnhof (Central Station), was constructed in 1841 for the Cologne–Aachen railway line. In 1905 it was moved closer to the city centre. The first horse tram line in Aachen opened in December 1880. After electrification in 1895, it was with maximal 213.5 kilometres (132.7 mi) in 1915 the fourth-longest tram system in Germany. Aachen is connected to the Autobahn A4 (West-East), A44 (North-South) and A544 (a smaller motorway from the A4 to the Europaplatz near the city centre). Maastricht Aachen Airport (IATA: MST, ICAO: EHBK) is the main airport of Aachen and Maastricht. It is located around 15 NM (28 km; 17 mi) northwest of Aachen.
