Aachen - Germany

The home to the throne of Charlemagne.

A tour of the city of Aachen: the throne of the Holy Roman Empire is here, in the Cathedral. The Byzantine style cathedral was later decorated with the rich patterns we see now. In the days of Charlemagne those weren't there.

Aachen is a fascinating city with a rich history, and there are many interesting facts that most people don't know about.

First of all, Aachen is located in western Germany, near the border with Belgium and the Netherlands. It was once the capital of the Frankish Empire, and later the Holy Roman Empire. The city is known for its historic architecture, including the impressive Aachen Cathedral, which was built in the ninth century and served as the coronation church for German kings and queens for centuries.

One of the most interesting facts about Aachen is that it was the favorite city of Charlemagne, the famous Frankish king who ruled from 768 to 814. Charlemagne spent a great deal of time in Aachen, and it was here that he built his palace, which became the center of his empire. The palace was known as the Palatium Aquisgranum, and it was one of the most impressive buildings of its time. Unfortunately, very little of it remains today, but you can still see some of the original walls and foundations if you visit the city.

Aachen was also the site of one of the most important treaties in European history. In 843, the Treaty of Verdun was signed in Aachen, which divided the Frankish Empire into three parts and laid the foundation for the modern states of France, Germany, and Italy. The treaty was negotiated by Charlemagne's grandsons, who had been fighting for control of the empire for several years. The Treaty of Verdun is considered one of the most significant events in European history, and it marked the end of the Carolingian dynasty.

El trono real de Aquisgrán, también llamado trono de Carlomagno, es un trono encargado por el emperador Carlomagno en la década de 790 y que formaba parte del mobiliario de la capilla palatina de su palacio de Aquisgrán (Alemania).

Sirvió como asiento de la coronación de m��s de 30 reyes romano-alemanes. Hoy ocupa el centro de la actual catedral de Aquisgrán, donde se exhibe desde la creación del mismo.

El trono descansa sobre cuatro pilares de piedra. Esto permitió a los visitantes de épocas posteriores arrastrarse bajo el trono, a la vez una demostración de humildad hacia el gobernante recién ungido y un acto de veneración a Jesucristo.

"El mundo no le alcanzó para contener a Carlomagno, pero un cajón sí pudo"

Es una reflexión sobre la naturaleza de la vida y la muerte, así como sobre la transitoriedad del poder y la grandeza. En ella se utiliza a Carlomagno, uno de los emperadores más poderosos y famosos de la historia, como símbolo de alguien que conquistó vastos territorios y ejerció una gran influencia en su época, tanto política como culturalmente. Sin embargo, a pesar de su grandeza y poder, la muerte lo redujo, como a todos los seres humanos, a un espacio pequeño y limitado: el cajón o ataúd.

Significado profundo:

1. Transitoriedad del poder y la gloria: Esta frase subraya que, sin importar cuán grande o poderoso sea alguien en vida, todos estamos destinados a la misma finitud. Carlomagno, a quien "el mundo no le alcanzó" porque sus ambiciones y conquistas fueron vastas, finalmente encontró el mismo destino que todos: ser contenido en un pequeño espacio, representado por el ataúd.

2. Igualdad ante la muerte: Aun las figuras históricas más influyentes, como emperadores o conquistadores, no pueden escapar del destino final. La muerte iguala a todos los seres, independientemente de su poder, riqueza o fama. Este es un recordatorio de que el poder terrenal y los logros son efímeros y no alteran la condición humana fundamental.

3. Reflexión sobre el ego y el desapego: La frase invita a reflexionar sobre la importancia de no dejarnos consumir por el ego, la ambición o la búsqueda de grandeza, ya que en última instancia, estas cosas no nos acompañarán. Nos recuerda que la verdadera sabiduría puede estar en cultivar cualidades interiores y no en acumular poder o riquezas externas.

4. Humildad y aceptación de la impermanencia: La expresión "pero un cajón sí pudo" enfatiza que todos los logros, posesiones y conquistas son temporales. Esto nos anima a vivir con humildad, aceptando que nuestra existencia es breve y que la grandeza terrenal tiene un límite marcado por la impermanencia de la vida.

Esta frase es una llamada a la humildad y a la aceptación de la naturaleza efímera de todas las cosas, recordándonos que, al final, nuestra esencia no radica en lo que acumulamos o conquistamos, sino en la manera en que vivimos y comprendemos nuestra existencia.

Cultura en el imperio carolingio

Un equipo de investigadores ha revelado que la conversión de las monedas de oro a plata en la Inglaterra medieval fue una especie de antigua iniciativa de flexibilización cuantitativa, obtenida a través de la plata bizantina. Después de esto, Inglaterra dependió de la plata importada de Francia para fabricar sus monedas.

Las guerras sajonas

Las guerras sajonas (772-804) fueron una serie de conflictos entre los francos bajo el mando de Carlomagno, que buscaba conquistar Sajonia y convertir la población al cristianismo, y los sajones que se resistieron. El conflicto duró más de 30 años a lo largo de 18 campañas y se cobró miles de vidas antes de la victoria de Carlomagno en 804 y la conversión/ asimilación sajona en la población general.

Another little-known fact about Aachen is that it was once one of the most important centers of learning in Europe. Charlemagne was a great patron of the arts and sciences, and he brought many scholars to his court in Aachen. The city was home to one of the first schools of music in Europe, and it was also a center for the study of theology and law. Today, you can visit the Carolus Magnus Center, which is dedicated to the life and legacy of Charlemagne and includes a museum and a library.

Aachen was also the site of one of the most important treaties in European history. In 843, the Treaty of Verdun was signed in Aachen, which divided the Frankish Empire into three parts and laid the foundation for the modern states of France, Germany, and Italy.

Essenzialmente senza le ombre non avremmo prontezza e desiderio della luce

Romanzo Solferino di Piera Carlomagno Essenzialmente senza le ombre non avremmo prontezza e desiderio della luce, mi viene da commentare non avendo parole degne per descrivere il piacere, la frenesia, l’arricchimento intimo, le forti emozioni, che accompagnano la lettura di questa ultimo romanzo di Piera Carlomagno. Ho letto gli altri con passione crescente ma questo “memoir” è un’altra storia,…
