There are two airfields associated with Aachen.
The bigger one is Maastricht/Aachen which is actually in the Nethelands. It is a proper regional airport with plenty of runway and, I believe; an ILS.
Aachen Airfield in Germany is a small VFR field, only about 600meters/2000ft of runway but no big deal in a 172 (depending on your engines HP, your T/O weight and the temperature I guess it could be limiting, though).
Have fun!
