Info
Augsburger Straße is a Berlin U-Bahn station on the U 3 line. It is located in Charlottenburg under Nürnberger Straße where Augsburger Straße crosses it. Station and street are named after the city of Augsburg.Augsburger Straße station was built in 1960/61 and opened on May 8, 1961, after the replacement of the Nürnberger Platz station by the new Spichernstraße interchange with the U9 line left too great a distance between stations for centre-city service. It is 491 m north of the Spichernstraße station and 615 m south of Wittenbergplatz.
The station has 2 side platforms with exits at each end and a passenger tunnel under the tracks. The walls are tiled in dark orange or "red-brown". As at Spichernstraße, there is a drop ceiling which causes a powerful draught. There are only stairs at the exits, thus this station is inaccessible to the handicapped.
