The Katschhof is a very well located place to take a nice photo of both the cathedral and the town hall opposite. All the numerous influencers who come here when the weather is nice can't be wrong.

The Katschhof is a centrally located, public square in the old town of Aachen . The name derives from Kaxhoff , later Kackshoff or according to Oppenhoff from Katzhoff , thus marking the place of the former pillory ( Katz , Kaks ). Between 1847 and 1902, the Katschhof was named in honor of the Aachen mayor Gerhard Chorus Chorusplatz , afterwards the old historical name and the leading street was given the name Ritter-Chorus-Straße . The location between Aachen Cathedral and the Aachen town hall as well as the building based on a medieval ground plan, it radiates a special atmosphere . Major events such as concerts, weekly markets, town festivals and the annual Aachen Christmas market take place here.

The name derives from Kaxhoff, later Kackshoff or, according to Oppenhoff, Katzhoff, meaning the place of the former Prangers (Katz, Kaks). Between 1847 and 1902, the Katschhof was named in honor of the mayor of Aachen Gerhard Chorus Chorusplatz, then was again the old historic name and the supplying street was instead named Ritter-Chorus-Straße. The location between the Aachen Cathedral and the Aachen Town Hall and the built after a medieval floor plan building he exudes a special atmosphere. Larger events such as concerts, weekly markets, city festivals and the annual Aachen Christmas Market take place here.
