Krimi-Trail Aachen

In the location's words:

Crime trail Aachen - The dead Roman 📍

Searching for clues in the imperial city

A mysterious "Roman" who is repeatedly spotted in Aachen raises questions - and turns the historic city into the backdrop for a special crime thriller experience. On the Aachen Crime Trail, you explore the city on your own and discover familiar places from a completely new perspective.

Your starting point is the Kurgarten, a green oasis in the middle of the city, which today invites you to relax - and is also the starting point of a mysterious event. From here, your route takes you to the Elisenbrunnen, one of Aachen's most famous landmarks. The sulphurous thermal springs are a reminder that Aachen was already an important spa town in Roman times.

Nearby, the Archaeological Showcase offers exciting insights into the city's Roman past - perhaps just the right place to learn more about the background to the fall. At the Centre Charlemagne, you can delve even deeper into history: The modern museum tells the story of Aachen as a European center of power at the time of Charlemagne.

At the Katschhof, framed by the cathedral and town hall, you will experience one of the city's most impressive squares. This is where history and the present meet. The playful puppet fountain with its moving figures provides a charming contrast and invites you to take a short break. Finally, the trail takes you to the lively Pontstraße, where student life, cafés and bars characterize the cityscape.

The Crime Trail Aachen combines history, city life and puzzle fun into a varied tour - ideal for anyone who wants to discover Aachen actively and with a detective's eye.
