Augsburg-Oberhausen

Augsburg-Oberhausen station stands in the northwest of Augsburg’s city centre, in the Oberhausen district. It is the second busiest station in the city after the main station. The present building was constructed in 1931–32 in the New Objectivity style, south of the old Oberhauser station. A wide tram and bus concourse fronts the station, and the facade was recently renovated. Inside, a ticket machine, kiosk and bar serve travellers. Below ground, a tunnel links the platforms but is not accessible for disabled passengers.

The station handles all Regional-Express and Regionalbahn trains leaving Augsburg Hauptbahnhof towards the north and west. It is the transfer point for services running from Ulm to Donauwörth and back. Trains on the Bayerische Regiobahn line to Schongau usually start or finish here. Regional and night buses also use the stop outside, including route 35 and night route 91. The site acts as a major public transport hub, especially busy at peak hours.

Freight work remains important: containers are transferred from rail to road on the sidings. A new unloading yard was planned to ease pressure on the container terminal near Gersthofen and Neusäß. Future S-Bahn lines to Dinkelscherben, Donauwörth and Fischach will call here, strengthening the station’s role for Oberhausen and Kriegshaber. Recent improvements have focused on the forecourt and exterior, though a reversing track has yet to be built.
