Ancient Aachen - 8

            Another of the fixtures on Markt is the fountain crowned with a statue of Charlemagne.
That sculpture was cast in the Belgian city of Dinant in 1620. When the French forces took over Aachen in the 1890s the statue of Charlemagne was seized as war booty, to be reunited with the city a few years later after negotiations by the city’s mayor.

The current statue is a replica, and the original is in the Coronation Hall in the City Hall.
The fountain was made more ornamental in the 1730s when Johann Joseph Couven designed the limestone basin and its two bronze fish.
