The impressive Aachen Cathedral in its present form is the result of many centuries of development and change in the city and the region. In the 8th century, the cornerstone of the Aachen Royal Palace was laid on a former Roman thermal complex. From the Carolingian Palatine Chapel, the building changed over time to the Minster Church and then on to today's Bishop's Cathedral. In the period from 936 to 1531, the Minster Church was the burial place of Charlemagne, and was even the central place of the Roman-German kingdom.

The more than 1200-year-old Aachen Cathedral is a heterogeneous structure, influenced by many stylistic epochs, characterized by numerous overshoots, breaks and extensions. The function of the church changed in the course of history from the once Carolingian Palatine Chapel to the episcopal church of the present. As a place of the Karlskultes the collegiate church was from 936 to 1531 coronation Roman-German kings (Wikipedia).
