The building displays design principles of New Objectivity, which favored clean lines and practical forms over decoration. Such stations continue to shape the city today and show how architects once wanted to create public spaces.
The station connects multiple railway lines and serves as a key hub between residential areas and Augsburg's city center. When arriving by train, visitors should note that it is located in the Oberhausen district and is not centrally positioned.
