Hardly any other historical figure is as closely associated with a city as Charlemagne is with Aachen. Even during his lifetime, the Frankish emperor brought much attention and fame to the city, and the memory of its patron saint has never faded in the centuries since. This work takes a diachronic journey through the last century to explore the city of Aachen's memory of Charlemagne. In addition to the two Charlemagne years, 1914 and 2014, the focus is on the introduction of the Charlemagne Prize after the Second World War and the major Charlemagne exhibition in 1965. The image of Charlemagne in Aachen changed repeatedly to reflect the political and social developments of the time and to always present the Frankish emperor in the best possible light.

Lukas Heck, born in 1989, secondary school teacher of English and history, former student teacher at RWTH Aachen University, first state examination at the Institute for Political Science.
