Aix-la-Chapelle, also known as Aachen, is a medieval town in Germany with a rich historical background. From the 13th to the 15th century, it was adorned with a magnificent town seal that showcased its grandeur. Today, we can admire a digitally restored reproduction of this seal from the 19th century. One of the iconic landmarks in Aix-la-Chapelle is the Elisenbrunnen. This historic site located in North Rhine-Westphalia has been capturing people's attention since the 1890s. A photochrome print from that era allows us to witness its beauty and imagine how it must have looked back then. The City Hall and Market Place are another testament to Aachen's history. In this bustling square, important events unfolded throughout centuries. Thanks to a photochrome print from the late 1800s, we can get a glimpse into what life was like during those times. Legend has it that "Der Schmied von Aachen, " or The Blacksmith of Aachen, was an extraordinary figure in German folklore. This legendary character comes alive through digital reproductions of original 19th-century artwork depicting his strength and prowess as he worked tirelessly at his forge. Aix-la-Chapelle holds significance beyond its cultural heritage; it played an essential role in European politics and diplomacy during various periods of war and peace negotiations. Historical lithographs depict principal seats of war between 1672-1699 and treaty adjustments made between1668-1699 – reminding us of its strategic importance on Europe's map. Not only did Aix-la-Chapelle witness political affairs but also celebrated joyous occasions such as fireworks displays held at Green Park. Coloured engravings give us perspective views of these magnificent structures erected for such festivities – providing glimpses into past entertainment enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Charlemagne, one of history's most influential figures, had a close association with Aix-la-Chapelle.
