Aachen—Germany’s westernmost major city—was once a central hub of the historic Frankish Empire under the Carolingians. Emperor Charlemagne enjoyed visiting the city frequently. During the last two decades of his life, the Imperial Palace in Aachen even became a sort of secondary residence for the monarch. After his death in 814, he was buried here, and Aachen remained the coronation city of German kings until the 16th century. In terms of historical significance, very few German cities can rival Aachen—but even today, this lively student city is an absolutely fascinating destination for team-building events and corporate gatherings.
From the Old Town, with landmarks such as Aachen Cathedral, City Hall, and the Elisenbrunnen, to modern event complexes like the Tivoli—home to Alemannia Aachen—and the Eurogress with the adjacent Neues Kurhaus, Aachen offers exciting experiences and exceptional venues for teams and companies.
There is also a wide range of options for events lasting several days: exclusive hotels such as the Parkhotel Quellenhof, the Novotel Aachen City, and the Mercure Hotel Aachen Europaplatz offer ideal venues for meetings, conferences, and corporate events. What’s more, they all boast a luxurious atmosphere and a prime location right in the heart of the city.
