Das Aachener Märchenbuch

The Aachen Fairy Tale Book tells the most beautiful myths and legends from the historic city of Charlemagne for the first time as fairy tales for children and all those who have remained young at heart. In the imaginative and richly illustrated tales, we encounter many familiar characters: the mischievous Hinzenmännchen play their pranks, the gruesome Bahkauv lurks for the people of Aachen, the beautiful princess Emma and the secret scribe Einhard have a rendezvous. At the fish market, the witches' dance rages on, Countess Mobesin graces the scene, and the valiant blacksmith fights for the freedom of his city. Eerie skeletons hurry through the Clatter Alley, and the devil repeatedly tries to outsmart the clever Acheners.

The Aachen Fairy Tale Book is an exciting city history in fairy tale form. The memorable city map in the cover guides young readers to the locations and monuments, inviting them on a shared journey of discovery into the past. This sparks curiosity about Aachen's rich history even in the youngest readers and conveys a wealth of interesting information about the city.

The enchanting illustrations by Mira Lob lovingly bring the fairy tales to life and give the characters and locations their unique character. Thus, a fascinating fairy tale world of Aachen unfolds before the readers' eyes, which no Aachen child would want to miss.
