City of Water - Urbs Aquensis
Find out how Aachen established himself into a respected spa and bathing city.
Water has played an important role in the development of Aachen in various ways. Already in the Stone Age people settled on the hot mineral thermal sources. Finds large thermal complexes suggest that the Romans already appreciated the advantages of the healing water. Numerous underground, partly relocated to the surface, streams and a large number of wells testify as well as the thermal sources of the great importance of water for the city.
Find out what role the hot sources played in the decision of Charlemagne to appoint Aachen to his favorite Palatinate and what influence the cold streams had on the city, which not only established themselves as a respected spa and bathing city, but also to the stronghold of cloth production!
