Aachen (German nobility)

The House of Aachen was a German noble family, that originated from the city of Speyer. The family was closely related to the modern German major city of Aachen.

History[edit]

The family were owners of the Reigerding country estate, close to Rhede in today's North Rine-Westphalia, as well as parts of the Eichholz country estate.^[1]^[2] In the latter half of the 18th century, two family members (Klemens August von Aachen and Ewald von Aachen) were part of the Royal Prussian Army.^[2] In 1816, with the death of Ewald von Aachen, the family died out.
