It is possible that we will never really know why Aachen was special to Charlemagne, but it clearly was. It has been speculated that he may have been born there. He spent Christmas at Aachen in 768, and may have just come to appreciate the place at that time; it had already been used by Pippin the Younger as a place to stay, and so was well equipped. Charlemagne made Aachen his capital, and built both a palace and a cathedral there. He was buried there when he died.
