10 Fountains in Aachen That You Shouldn't Miss

August 17, 2021 Jana Sager

Best known as the capital of Charlemagne's Frankish empire, today's Aachen sits at the juncture where Germany meets the Netherlands (the Dutch know it as Aken) and Belgium (where "Walloons" call it Aix-la-Chapelle). But Aachen's history goes back even further than 8th-century Charlemagne. Roman soldiers dating back to the 1st century AD cherished its hot springs (as did Charlemagne, who loved a good spa day just as much as the next guy). Aachen Cathedral, northern Europe's oldest and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the city's main attraction.

Not only that the marketplace is giving you nice views and a lot of cafés and restaurants the fountain with the statue of Karl der Grosse (Charles the great or Charlemagne) overlooking the market is a very popular meeting spot.

Kreislauf des Geldes

Reviewed By 647nataljam - The Hague, The Netherlands

"Kreislauf des Geldes" (“money cycle”)- I was impressed by this allegorical fountain thus by return home, couldn’t let it go and found the biography of its sculpture-Karl Henning Seemann, he is amazing genius and creator of some more allegorical sculptures beside this one. The bronze people symbolize avarice, greed, patronage and begging. Just like money, the water is in a cycle..
