Aachen (* Dutch Aken, French Aix-la-Chapelle, Latin Aquisgranum, Ripuarian Oche) is a spa city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, on the border with Belgium and the Netherlands, 65 km to the west of Cologne, and the westernmost city in Germany.Bridgwater, W. & Beatrice Aldrich.

History
A quarry on the Lousberg which was first used in Neolithic times attests to the long occupation of the site of Aachen.
The Romans named the hot sulphur springs of Aachen Aquis-Granum. For the origin of the Granus several theories were developed, but it is now widely accepted that it derives from a local Celtic god of healing water, not elsewhere attested. Since Roman times, the hot springs have been channeled into baths (which are still in use). In French-speaking areas of the former Empire, the word aquas was turned into aix, hence Aix-la-Chapelle.
