Both are examples of Aachen, the city where Charlemagne is buried and where for about half a millenia the German kings where crowned. It took me ages that Aachen is the city meant when the French talk of “Aix-la-Chapelle”. The narrow buildings are near the famous Aachen cathedral, the centre of town where space was always at a premium. The wide building is the town’s theatre built in the classicist style.

The narrow building is so pretty. Is it apartments?

It looks like it, judging by the curtains. Except the first floor of course, that’s a shop, something like a interior decorating shop or the like.
