Guided Story

Can you feel the history in the air? Take a look around and let the clean, unadorned architecture of the station sink in. Opened in 1932, this place is more than just a transit hub; it's a monument to the New Objectivity movement. This style rejected the decorative excesses of the past. Just behind you, a short walk away, stands the Leonhard Hausmann monument. It's a testament to the era when Augsburg's industrialization was booming. Back then, this station was a symbol of progress, built for a new age where efficiency and functionality reigned. And if you glance to the west, you'll spot the St. Thaddäus Church, its playful design contrasting sharply with the station's austere lines. Every corner here whispers its own story.
