and "Aachen" are two English names for the same German city. They are
not French and German, though of French and German origin. Which of the
two people use depends on their language variety.</span></div> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><div class="Ih2E3d"> </div></span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> <div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br></div> <br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">So...just out of curiosity, what </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
is </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">the German name for Aachen? I seem to recall seeing that on road signs in Koeln, but I could be mistaken.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
