Centre Charlemagne – Aachen’s New City Museum

On around 800 qm², the Centre Charlemagne guides you through the entire history of the city. One of the core themes of the exhibition is the story and legend of Charlemagne. The new permanent exhibition starts with early settlements in Aachen during the Neolithic Age and introduces you to Roman Aachen, the Carolingian Palace City and Aachen as an imperial coronation city during the Middle Ages. It then shows you Aachen’s history as a fashionable spa town during the Baroque, as an industrial border town during the modern age and the two World Wars as well as how it has become the diverse European city it is today.

32 media stations in DE / EN / NL / FR

History Lab

At the History Lab (in the centre of the permanent exhibition), students of any age can discover life in Carolingian Aachen around 800 CE on 180 qm² as well as the methods and contents of archaeological research.They can also handle objects from the Wardrobe, Overseas Trade, Armoury, Scriptorium and Pantry sections themselves. Using our touch monitors, you can learn about weaving from maid Puella, about the goods on sale from trader Freso, about armoury from Count Hunfried, about the monastery’s scriptorium from the young monk, Florentius, and about the food people ate from farmers Kuno and Emma.
