About Aachen
Aachen is one of the most historically significant cities in western Europe — the residence and burial place of Charlemagne (Karl der Große), the emperor who united much of western Europe under Frankish rule in the early 9th century and whose court at Aachen was the political and intellectual centre of the Carolingian Renaissance. The Aachen Cathedral (Dom) — begun by Charlemagne around 796 CE, his palace chapel and burial church — is the oldest cathedral in northern Europe and one of the first three sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978. The extraordinary Palatine Chapel at its core, with its Byzantine-inspired octagonal dome and the throne of Charlemagne, is one of the most important early medieval interiors in the world.
Aachen's geographical position at the meeting point of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands gives it a uniquely trilingual and transnational character — the Dreiländereck (three-country corner) near the city is a short excursion destination, and the city's daily life is shaped by its border position with easy access to Belgian and Dutch culture and commerce. The Aachener Printen — a distinctive spiced gingerbread produced in Aachen since the medieval period, considered the oldest Christmas biscuit in Germany — is the city's most famous culinary product. Aachen's RWTH University is one of Germany's leading technical universities, giving the city a strong research and technology character.
Important Transfer Information
Aachen Cathedral UNESCO: The Aachen Cathedral is the oldest cathedral in northern Europe and one of the founding UNESCO World Heritage Sites — Charlemagne's palace chapel (796 CE) with its Byzantine-inspired octagonal dome, the Gothic choir added in 1414, and the shrine of Charlemagne (one of the most important medieval reliquaries in existence) combine to create one of the most historically layered and significant buildings in Europe. The Cathedral Treasury houses the finest collection of Carolingian art objects in the world.
Three-Country Corner: Aachen sits at the Dreiländereck — the meeting point of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The three-country marker, accessible by a short walk from the Drielandenpunt parking area, is a remarkable European symbol. Both Liège (Belgium) and Maastricht (Netherlands) are within 30–45 minutes by car, making Aachen an excellent base for exploring the Euregio border region.
Charlemagne Prize: The International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen (Karlspreis) — awarded annually since 1950 to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to European unity — is one of Europe's most prestigious awards, with recipients including Winston Churchill, Jean Monnet, Konrad Adenauer, Pope Francis and Emmanuel Macron. The award ceremony in the historic Town Hall (Rathaus) is a significant European event.
