Anecdotes, legends & stories - the Guided Tour

Aachen holds many little secrets and exciting stories. Some are based on true events, others are completely fictional. Stroll with us through the romantic streets of the old town and hear how the imaginative people of Aachen filled one or two gaps in the city's history with exciting sagas and legends. True to the motto: You don't have to know everything, but you have to be able to explain everything!

Where does Klappergasse get its name? Where was the mystical Bahkauv up to mischief? And what's the deal with the devil and coffee smuggling?

Of course, Charlemagne also appears again and again - from the cathedral building to the Printen legend. You will also meet a bookseller who could not read himself and did not always represent the content of his books truthfully, as well as William of Holland, who tried to flood Aachen.
