Bahnbetriebswerk Augsburg, Railway maintenance facility in Augsburg, Germany.
Bahnbetriebswerk Augsburg is a railway maintenance facility sprawling across 23 hectares with two rotating tables and extensive workshop buildings for locomotive servicing. The grounds contain multiple work areas and infrastructure designed to handle repairs and upkeep of different train types.
Founded in 1906, this facility was once the largest maintenance depot under the Munich Railway Directorate, with capacity for up to 190 vehicles at its peak in 1965. Over the 20th century, it evolved from a steam locomotive workshop into a modern installation serving electric and diesel trains.
The facility represents the evolution of German railway engineering, preserving technical heritage through its transformation from steam to electric and diesel locomotive maintenance.
Today the site operates as a working maintenance center for several railway companies including Bayerische Regiobahn and DB Regio who service their vehicles there. Since it remains an active rail facility with limited public access, visitors should check in advance about viewing opportunities and any tours available.
The locomotive depot maintains its original architectural elements from 1906, earning recognition as an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria.
