Aachen is a spa town in western Germany in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, on the border with Belgium and the Netherlands. At one time Aachen was the seat of Charlemagne and the center of his European empire. Charlemagne built a palace and a chapel there, which was expanded over time into the cathedral that still exists today. Inside this historic temple are the imperial throne and reliquary of Charlemagne, the Great Relics of Aachen, which include Mary's gown and the baby Jesus' diaper, and many other valuable medieval objects.
In addition to the cathedral, see the beautiful town hall and take advantage of the health-promoting properties of the local thermal waters. There are several interesting museums in Aachen: the cathedral treasury, the Centre Charlemagne introducing the history of Aachen, and the Couven Museum, showcasing technical progress and the life of the city's inhabitants in the 18th century, among others. Aachen also has many interesting monuments and fountains. Right next to the cathedral is the Puppenbrunnen, a movable fountain from 1975 that tells the city's history in an abbreviated way by means of figures moved by viewers.
Aachen is now a major industrial center that is an important road and rail hub. The city is home to Germany's largest polytechnic and many other smaller universities.
