With a height of 264 meters, the Lousberg is a striking elevation on the northern edge of the historic center of Aachen, which was designed as a forest and mountain park at the beginning of the 19th century according to plans by Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe. The origin of the name is not entirely clear. It could come from lousen (“to look, to look”), as the mountain offers an excellent all-round view, or it could go back to Ludwig the Pious (Louis), the son of Charlemagne. Another explanatory approach refers to the expression lous in the Aachen dialect for "smart".
