Aachen (, German: [ˈʔaːxn̩] (listen); Aachen dialect: Oche [ˈɔːxə]), also known as Bad Aachen ("Aachen Spa"), in Dutch as Aken, in French as Aix-la-Chapelle, in Italian as Aquisgrana, and in Latin as Aquæ Granni, is a spa and border city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Aachen developed from a Roman settlement and spa, subsequently becoming the preferred medieval Imperial residence of Emperor Charlemagne of the Frankish Empire, and, from 936 to 1531, the place where 31 Holy Roman Emperors were crowned Kings of the Germans.
