Aachener Printen are a type of Lebkuchen originating from the city of Aachen in Germany. Somewhat similar to gingerbread, they were originally sweetened with honey, but are now generally sweetened with a syrup made from sugar beets.

The term is a protected geographical indication, meaning that all manufacturers must be located in or near Aachen.[1]
