- Charlemagne had Aachen built up into his favorite residence. From here he ruled over his huge empire, which stretched from the North Sea to the Mediterranean. In 2014 Aachen is commemorating Charlemagne, who died there 1200 years ago. With the imperial cathedral as its focal point, special exhibitions with sumptuous objects from all over Europe bring Charlemagne's era to life.

Thank you, Charlemagne, for introducing lower case letters!
I like the Game of Thrones songs in the background. Really emphasizes the Frankisch culture! :)
Always the same. And now my poor country men. Verenglischen. Ihre sprache.....man. fragt sich.....
DW, you guys seriously have to leave sub titles instead of talking over a native speaker like damn have some back bone and be proud of this beautiful language. Idk tho
Ladies and gentlemen, this right here is the biggest church in the world.
Charlemagne, Charles the Great, lived in Aachen. It's a very old and beautiful city ❤️ Could have been a better documentary.
thanks i did it with love
Is Charlemagne considered French or German or both or neither? I read once that he preferred beer over wine which seemingly would tip the scales to German
Maybe both. Franks were a Germanic tribe after all.
He was a frank.
French is what the roman-gauls named themself and german what the germanic tribes in east franconian named themself long after Charlemange.
Charlemagne represented Khazars only ! Khazars came from the far-east= U-kraina(Slavic) and considered themselves to be second after God.. aquilla-killed the Juda(Sanskrit)= fighters !! Ryabina el-Qud-$ Ryaba !!
He spoke German and used German traditions...

Charlemagne forbidden the use of Germanic languages didn't he? He considered himself French and Roman I think. He was ethnically Frankish.
I ❤ this beautiful city🥰
The "bleching" ritual sounds correct. The lords of pre-medieval and medieval Germany were "mead-hall lords" meaning that in order to keep power, you had to entertain your best warriors or they would simply defect. There is a hint of this in BEOWULF and other tales from the early period. I have always wondered why the Germans waited until AFTER the Roman period to start building Castles. So if Karl der Grosse was Frankish, then he was familiar with the situation in Gaul. Seems logical. The Franks might have originated the Castle design after putting old Roman forts to use as strong holds for Frankish lords. I bet there was quite a bit of Gallo-Roman discontent against the Franks, probably a lot of riots and outright banditry, thus nessesitating the Castle.
They should do forensic facial reconstruction of german kings Otton I/Otton II/Otton and another/other german kings(3 D-scan of all skulls)
Outstanding balance
Canım Aachen 🥰
Terrible music choice in the beginning!
Charlemagne... CARL! Why the excess use of only how the French call him?
His LATIN name was Carolus, and I get it, he ruled what is later Split into France and Germany, and the Germans call him to this day Carl (the great).
Both Countries claim him as their historic Emperor. 😅
aix la chapelle is (as the name makes clear) is a chapel, not a cathedral - which is how he wanted it.
2%? It's said that all Europeans are descended from Charlemagne, since mathematically, anyone that long ago who has any living descendants is the ancestor of everyone alive.
Does anyone know books about the Bust of Charlemagne?
I don't think he was illiterate! He couldn't have been as powerful as he was if he was unlettered. I'll credit that story of him being illiterate to later historians.
Karl der Grosse
He is a decendent of mine I look like him almost to the t
complimenti !
Posh piece...
