Kaiserstadt Aachen

» Cities were always like people, showing their varying personalities to the traveler. Depending on the city, [...] there might begin a mutual love, or dislike, friendship, or enmity. Where one city will rise a certain individual to glory, it will destroy another who is not suited to its personality. Only through travel can we know where we belong or not, where we are loved and where we are rejected. « ― Roman Payne, Cities & Countries

Hello sweetie blonde, how was your relationship with Holy Roman Empire? How old were you at this period ? And... draw your nyo version =w=

In the year 936, Otto I was crowned in Aachen as Eastern Frankish king. Since then Aachen remained the coronation place of German kings who wanted to rule over the Holy Roman Empire for the next 600 years.Until 1531, 30 German kings were crowned in the Aachen Cathedral - the last was Ferdinand I.

After the antipope Paschal III. canonized Charlemagne in 1165, Aachen received town and market rights and minting privilege and therefore became a free imperial city due to a charter of freedom called "Karlsprivileg" (Charlemagne privilege) on 8 January 1166. Titled as "caput civitatum" ("head of the cities") and "caput et sedes regni Theutonici" ("head and seat of the German Empire"), Aachen's inhabitants were freed from serfdom and taxes.

So it was quite a nice time for Aachen.

“Totally enjoying this prom thing so far. And being alone is not that bad at all. No need to dress up in a fancy dress … or looking really good. Ha.” “I’m talking to myself…”

[asktheredhead]

[Trans: Since when do you sit on the side at a Prom? ]

[Trans: As far as I remember were you a real party monster. ]

[aixtravagant]

{ ”Don’t worry. I’m just enjoying the non existing happy hour.” }

{ “Just kidding. I’m bitter that no one asked me out.” }

[asktheredhead]

Lass mal sehen, du bist ohne Verabredung, ich bin ohne Verabredung… mmh~

( “Let me see, You are without a date, I am without a date… mmh~” )

(”Then I am your Date.”)

[aixtravagant]

{ “My date? But look at me. My clothes, hair, makeup ... I look terrible--” }

{ “-- and not as gorgeous as you!” } “ ... Ich geb zu der Anmachspruch war nicht so genial...” { “... I admit this pick-up line wasn’t that great ...” }

“...aber ich sehe echt ungeeignet für eine Party aus.” { “... but I do look unsuitable for a party.” }
