Aachen's Theatre Quarter

Discover Aachen’s Theatre Quarter – a captivating area where medieval monastic heritage, Prussian architecture and modern urban change come together. In the 19th century, former meadows, mills and city walls gave way to Theatre Square, Theatre Street and a range of representative residential and administrative buildings, supported by the arrival of the railway, postal services and early power facilities. The 20th century also left clear traces, from political use to wartime destruction. Today, historic façades and post-war architecture form a lively, diverse district that a guided walk brings vividly to life.
