I retraced my steps from the morning to our first stop, the Charlemagne Centre. This museum showed the history of the city from pre Roman times through to the eighteenth century I think. There were some wonderful exhibits including a Roman glass drinking horn and Roman ear tweezers, a medieval crown, Arabic and Byzantine coins and some gospel covers. As well as exhibits there were various displays on events in the city such as the sack of the city by the Spanish to expel the Protestants in 1598, the 1656 fire that destroyed 90% of the old city, the change of borders in 1801 and 1815 and then 1918 and 1930 where the city moved between French and German control. The bombing and siege of the city in 1944 caused yet more large scale destruction. There were also sections on the importance of the city as a centre for scholarship and manuscript production and another section on Carolingian arms and armour. All good stuff! The displays had minimal descriptions in English but you could download an audio app if you wanted to. All of the media screens could be played in English. Entrance was 10 Euros and we were inside for about an hour.

Really worth the visit! About one and a half hours is perfect. Lots of very interesting history starting at Roman times and working its way to present. Lots of interesting artifacts and paintings/photos to see. Entry very reasonable, only 6 €.

The museum was very interesting, but half of the exhibits focused on the city, and the material specifically about Charlemagne was somewhat limited. Also, most of the commentary was in German. On a positive note, they have a nice coffee place.

De ani de zile am dorit să revin la Aachen pentru a vizita orașul dar mai ales Centrul Charlemagne, unde speram să găsesc mult mai multe informații despre măreția acelei perioade marcate de viața și lupta uneia din marile personalități ale istoriei lumii. În 768, când a preluat tronul întregii Francii, regatul avea un teritoriu ceva mai mare ca Franţa de azi, cuprinzând în nord Belgia şi Olanda, în est sudul şi centrul Germaniei. Urmărind proiectul sau, a dus o politică de cuceriri, astfel că a lăsat urmaşilor un imperiu în ale cărui graniţe intrau şi teritorii care astăzi constituie partea de nord a Italiei, Elveţia, Germania, Cehia, Austria, Slovenia, Croaţia, Slovacia şi Ungaria. În Enciclopedia de Istorie Militară Universală se specifică faptul că „bilanţul militar impresionant al lui Carol peste 60 de expediţii victorioase se datorează talentului organizatoric şi unei capacităţi de comandă puţin obişnuite”. Pentru a şi extinde Imperiul, Carol a dus numeroase războaie cu regate vecine sau cu diverse popoare organizate în triburi: a cucerit în anul 774 Regatul longobard, a învins popoare slave, pe saxoni şi avari, apoi nordul Spaniei. În acelaşi timp, prin cuceriri şi prestigiul căpătat în Europa, devine şi protectorul Statului Papal de la Roma. Urmare a cuceririlor şi a acţiunii de creştinare a popoarelor din estul regatului franc, pentru condamnarea unor teze religioase promulgate de bizantini, în 24 decembrie 800, Papa Leon III îl încoronează cu titlul de împărat. Acest titlu îi va fi recunoscut şi de împăratul Bizanţului. Pentru a putea administra vastul său imperiu, Carol a organizat administrativ teritoriul în pagi („sat” în latină) şi a instituit un sistem mixt – laic şi religios – de control. Apoi, în anul 794, a întemeiat o nouă capitală pentru imperiul său Aachen. La moartea sa, survenită în 814 la Aachen (este înmormântat în dom), a lăsat un imperiu creştin puternic, cu multe cetăţi de apărare. Acest imperiu avea organizate: curtea regală, justiţia şi biserica, precum şi şcoala. În ceea ce priveşte învăţământul, este de reţinut că a înfiinţat şcoala pe lângă Catedrala din Aachen şi că, în timpul său, a fost alcătuit un alfabet pe baza căruia a fost fundamentat actualul alfabet latin. Pentru apărarea teritoriilor Imperiului şi chiar extinderea acestuia, Carol cel Mare a instituit un sistem de organizare, de dotare şi de recrutare a personalului. Recrutarea pentru armată se făcea în „raport de întinderea pământului deţinut de fiecare locuitor”(conform V. Zodian, A. Pantea, M. Zodian – Enciclopedie de istorie militară, Ed. Militară,...

I visited the exhibition on August 19 and, unfortunately, I would not recommend it.

Upon arrival, I was disappointed that the receptionist made no effort to communicate in English, which made it difficult to understand the necessary information. I was only able to proceed thanks to the kindness of another visitor in line who helped translate.

The exhibition itself was smaller than expected, and several of the interactive elements were out of order. Additionally, all the information and descriptions were only available in German, which made it hard to fully appreciate or understand the content as an international visitor.

Given the limited experience and lack of accessibility for non-German speakers, I found the entrance fee quite high for what...
