Aachen Place in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Aachen, also known as Bad Aachen, and in French and traditional English as Aix-la-Chapelle, 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 Charlemagne, and, from 936 to 1531, the place where 31 Holy Roman Emperors were crowned Kings of the Germans.

The formerly independent town of Haaren lies four kilometers north of Aachen, into which it was incorporated in 1972.

History

The village of Verlautenheide initially developed around the estate Heiderhof and was originally known as "Die Heyd". Much later, it became a Linear settlement (known in German as a Straßendorf). Verlautenheide was first mentioned (as Heide boven Haren) in 1445, in a lease and interest register for the Imperial Kornelimünster Abbey. The Kahlgracht Mill (Kahlgrachtmühle), which was built in the area of Verlautenheide in the 15th century, is an important testament to the town's existence then.

In geography, a linear settlement is a settlement or group of buildings that is formed in a long line. Many follow a transport route, such as a road, river, or canal though some form due to physical restrictions, such as coastlines, mountains, hills or valleys. Linear settlements may have no obvious centre, such as a road junction. Linear settlements have a long and narrow shape.

Kornelimünster Abbey, also known as Abbey of the Abbot Saint Benedict of Aniane and Pope Cornelius, is a Benedictine monastery that has been integrated since 1972. The abbey is located in Aachen in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.

Together with Haaren, Verlautenheide belonged to Aachen until the end of the 19th century. At the time, Verlautenheide was also the location of one of the eight watchtowers surrounding and protecting Aachen, which is noted in the street name Türmchenweg (little tower way), which runs down the center of town. After France occupied Haaren and Verlautenheide in 1792 and 1794, administration of the town was maintained in Haaren under the French Mairie system, with the town formally becoming part of France as a result of the Treaty of Lunéville in 1801, before finally switching to the Kingdom of Prussia following the Treaty of Paris in 1814.

The Treaty of Lunéville was signed in the Treaty House of Lunéville on 9 February 1801. The signatory parties were the French Republic and Holy Roman Emperor Francis II. The latter was negotiating both on his own behalf as ruler of the hereditary domains of the Habsburg Monarchy and on behalf of other rulers who controlled territories in the Holy Roman Empire. The signatories were Joseph Bonaparte and Count Ludwig von Cobenzl, the Austrian foreign minister.

The Kingdom of Prussia was a German kingdom that constituted the state of Prussia between 1701 and 1918. It was the driving force behind the unification of Germany in 1871 and was the leading state of the German Empire until its dissolution in 1918. Although it took its name from the region called Prussia, it was based in the Margraviate of Brandenburg, where its capital was Berlin.

The Treaty of Paris, signed on 30 May 1814, ended the war between France and the Sixth Coalition, part of the Napoleonic Wars, following an armistice signed on 23 April between Charles, Count of Artois, and the allies. The treaty set the borders for France under the House of Bourbon and restored territories to other nations. It is sometimes called the First Peace of Paris, as another one followed in 1815.

The area was intensely fought over in October 1944, and in Verlautenheide, US troops completed their surrounding of Aachen.

In the early 1960s, the first Aachen motorway "Wuerselen / Verlautenheide" (now Federal Highway 544) was built in Verlautenheide; around 1963, the motorway intersection with Aachen was completed.

Until the end of 1971, the community of Haaren/Verlautenheide was self-administered, but with the restructuring of Aachen's surrounding communities, the towns were incorporated into Aachen itself.^[1]

Father Hugo Nießen worked in Verlautenheide in 1976. In October 1976 he became provost for the Protestant parish of St. Georg in the city of Wassenberg.
