Aachen Town Hall
That's probably the crowning glory!
Well, what masterpiece of Gothic architecture do we have here? My town hall, beautiful, isn’t it? For me, next to the cathedral, it’s my most striking building. Just a heads up, you get a particularly spectacular view of my world heritage site from the stairwell! Sorry, back to the topic: My town hall amazes guests from the outside as well as from the inside. It's not uncommon for me to see people who grew up here still pull out their phones to capture this beauty as they pass by. It is illuminated in the evening and from the inside, it has enough radiance already. And those beautiful paintings everywhere, a dream! Let's see which stars and starlets you recognize on them. I'm curious to see which of my halls fascinates you the most. I'm guessing the coronation hall. I'm just going to say, “ribbed vaulting”. What magnificent banquets I used to host here. Some absolute highlights are definitely the faithful replicas of the imperial jewels, including the imperial crown and the saber of Charlemagne! But my other premises are also absolutely worth seeing. Sometimes it's about peace, sometimes about cloth makers, their products and the jury. And what you should also be interested in when you visit here is the hustle and bustle on my market, which takes place twice a week right in front of the town hall. Fruits, vegetables, herbs and the most beautiful flowers from the region are already waiting for you here. And I would like to throw an insider tip at you: Have a look at my cute cathedral shop around the corner and put together your own mixed bag, like in the old days! And the liquorice selection here is amazing. Sorry, I'm getting nostalgic again.
