Aachen chronoscopes – glimpses into history

In the heart of Aachen's old town, the Chronoscopes stand like silent gateways to other eras. The tall metal steles with their different viewing windows invite you to immerse yourself in past centuries through digital reconstructions. Whether Roman bathing culture, medieval palaces or baroque bathing splendour – at these points you get a feel for how the city has been shaped over the course of time. The installations not only make history visible, but almost tangible, as if you were standing between old walls that have long since disappeared but live on in pictures.
