Aachen Town Hall - from rule to dialog

Aachen Town Hall - from rule to dialog

Aachen has set out with a large number of stakeholders to become an innovative municipality of civic dialog and to shape the future of the city together with urban society. Join in and talk to us at our stand in the foyer of the town hall. We look forward to seeing you there.

The Granus Tower is certainly less well known, although it is a prominent feature of the Aachen City Hall. Spanning four storeys, it still presents itself in its Carolingian-era form - a representative stair tower whose purpose, however, is still controversial today. We go in search of clues inside the building for hidden signs of its use and finish with a look into the roof truss of the town hall.
