Global Aachen – The Work of Small Hands (only German)

Guided group tours

Description

Exciting aspects of the fair trade city: this tour through the Old Town encourages reflection on child labour, social injustice and social upheaval – buzzwords that are often used to describe the era of industrialisation in Germany. But what was the situation like in Aachen? And what impact did industrialisation have on the former cloth city? Find out lots of interesting information about the economic development of the city and its social consequences. This tour, which takes you to Katschhof and Lindenplatz, among other places, raises awareness of conscious consumer behaviour and shows how social behaviour has developed over the centuries. 

Please note: This tour is only available in German!
