Show sight on map

Haus Matthéy is a listed building on Theaterstraße in Aachen, Germany, at number 67. The original building was built in 1834 by Adam Franz Friedrich Leydel on behalf of the cloth manufacturer Heinrich Anton Deusner (1787–1870), a son of the cloth manufacturer and politician Christian Friedrich Deusner (1756–1844), who came from the Frankfurt am Main area and was active in Aachen, as a representative city villa in the classicist style. Of these, only the original façade exists. The house is named after the last private owner, the textile merchant and art collector Teo Matthéy (1901–1989). The building, which had been largely vacant for many years, was taken over by the married couple Volker and Andera Gadeib in June 2019 by hereditary building rights.

2. Marienkapelle

Show sight on map

The Marienkapelle is a chapel dedicated to the Mother of God in Aachen-Burtscheid, Germany. It stands on the corner of Gregorstraße and Berdoletstraße and was built in 1643/44 at the instigation of the incumbent abbess of the Imperial Abbey of Burtscheid, Henrietta Raitz von Frenz, and the monk Peter Kerchof in honour of the "Madonna of Scherpenheuvel". The most important part of the chapel is the newly made miraculous image of Mary, the depiction of which corresponds to the original in the baroque pilgrimage church dedicated to Our Lady in the Belgian pilgrimage site of Scherpenheuvel-Zichem. The formerly used French name Montaigu for Scherpenheuvel derives from the Latin mons acutus = pointed mountain or sharp hill. In the vernacular, this led to the name Klein Scherpenhövel or simply a chapel for the Burtscheider Marienkapelle.

The list of historic mills in Aachen provides an overview of the most famous former watermills on the banks of the Aachen streams in today's area of the city of Aachen. More than 70 mills have been identified and substantiated with data from the sources, although there were also other mills that have been historically forgotten or about which there is no information. The proven Aachen mills had once served, among other things, as grain, grist or oil mills as well as copper, grinding, fulling or coloured wood mills and most of them had an overshot water wheel. From the early modern period onwards, they formed the basis for Aachen's economic rise, especially in the area of the cloth and needle industry in the 18th and 19th centuries, as evidenced by the history of the cloth industry in Aachen, for example.
