About Aachen

Aachen is a small town in Germany on the border of the Netherlands and Belgium. Aachen, the most important border city of North Rhine-Westphalia, is also known for its universities. About 40,000 people of its 250,000 inhabitants are students. Its cafes are usually crowded with young and educated people. Many of the buildings were damaged after a fire in 1956 in the city, so unfortunately there is not too much historical architecture in the city, not even in the Old Town district. The city's most important building is the Aachen Cathedral which was built by the Roman-German Emperor Charlemagne. The Cathedral was placed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO and at 800 years old is one of the oldest houses of worship in Europe.

The Heiling Church is also another historic church. Its construction was begun in the 14th century and it was restored several times. Another historic building in the old town is Town Hall or Rathaus. The building was redesigned in a Neo-Gothic style in the 18th century.
