As one of Aachen's oldest buildings, the Grashaus on the fish market has stood for the city's early self-government since the 13th century. Originally built around 1260, it served as the first town hall and demonstrated the growing awareness of the citizens for their own responsibility. Later, it was used as a dungeon and then as the city archives for many decades. Today, the Grashaus is a place that addresses European issues and connects history with the present. Upon entering, you can sense how the building's varied uses are reflected in its character, which has retained a quiet continuity despite all the changes it has undergone.
