Aachen Cathedral

I'm currently back playing in Europe and just stumbled over the fact that Liege, Mulhouse and probably other provinces start with already built Cathedral buildings. I don't own Leviathan but I know that Cologne Cathedral exists as a Monument. Why isn't Aachen getting any of this love? While the architectural significance of the Cologne Cathedral may be greater, the one in Aachen is ridiculously relevant to the history of the HRE. It was built by Carolus Magnus who was also interred there and it was to my knowledge the first post-Roman building with a domed ceiling in Europe.

I know it's a minor thing and there's tons of culturally and historically relevant cathedrals all over Europe, but I really wonder why Cologne gets preference over Aachen and/or why Aachen of all places doesn't start with a Cathedral building when it was one of the most politically relevant churches in the HRE from 805 onwards.

Anyone by chance have any insight as to how they picked who gets what?
