Aachen fountain in hibernation: an autumn without rippling!

Aachen fountain in hibernation: an autumn without rippling!

Aachen, Deutschland - In Aachen, the annual fountain winter sleep is just around the corner! From the end of October, the first fountain -fed fountain in the old town will be switched off, followed by further systems that will also be put into the resting phase by the end of November. This well -deserved break traditionally ends with the beginning of Easter next year.

An important redesign took place in summer: The largest fountain on the European platz was given important maintenance measures at the time of the channel work. The fountain pool was sealed here and the technical systems were carefully renovated. Building management currently manages a total of 66 urban water features, and while most fountains are resting winters, the systems on the Elisengarten continue to bubble up even during the cold months thanks to warm thermal water. Only the fountain in front of the new Kurhaus will soon also have to be closed due to upcoming renovation work on the sewage pipe.
