Augsburg Central Station

Augsburg Central Station is a Neoclassical railway facility with twelve platform tracks that span multiple levels of transportation infrastructure. The station connects long-distance services with local transit systems and handles thousands of travelers daily.

The station was constructed between 1843 and 1846 under Eduard Rüber's direction and ranks among Germany's oldest operating railway structures. Over more than a century and a half, it has adapted to changing transportation demands and undergone several expansions.

The building displays architectural elements from different periods that show how railway station design evolved in Germany over time. You can see these layers firsthand as you walk through the halls and corridors.

The station is easy to navigate as signage and information boards clearly mark different areas. The facility is accessible to all visitors and offers waiting areas, shops, and restrooms throughout.

The building preserves its original 19th-century hall while an underground tram station is being constructed beneath its foundation. This contrast shows how the facility adapts to modern needs without abandoning its past.
