Goldener Schwan

The “Goldener Schwan” is one of the oldest restaurants in Aachen. Ground and first floor are triaxial and the upper floors were built in two axes. The facade of the five-story building dates back to the 19th Century. The courtyard facade and the core of the house are from the 17th Century and were built after the great fire in Aachen.
In the nineties of the 19th Century, the brewery was owned by the Bonnie family, who also maintained a restaurant. After the Second World War, the “Schwan ” was one of the first new restaurants, which was the destination of the hungry and poor population.
