caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Im Vordergrund der Bahnhof Augsburg-Oberhausen, in der Ferne der Hauptbahnhof mit dem Gleisfeld des Güterbahnhofs (2009) und dem Hotelturm Augsburg. Links der Bahngleise das Hettenbachviertel (benannt nach dem Hettenbach) mit Bahnhofsgebäude im Süden von Augsburg-Oberhausen. Die Ulmer Straße unterquert hier den Bahndamm nahe der Bahnsteige, genauso wie der Hettenbach und die Wertach, deren Aue durch die dunkelgrünen Bäume zwischen den beiden Bahnhöfen sichtbar das Bild von rechts (Südwesten) nach links (Nordosten) durchquert. Im rechten Bildteil hinter einem Gebäude an der Ulmer Straße und einem hellen Garagenhof bunt gemischte grössere und auch kleinere Wohnhäuser im Stadtteil Neukriegshaber, mit Wohnblöcken entlang der Grenzstrasse. Jenseits der Wertach dann die herausstechend weisse ausgedehnte Wohnanlage Lessinghof-Schuberthof an der Rosenaustraße zwischen Bahn und Stadtteil Augsburg-Pfersee nahe der früheren Goggelesbrücke, optisch fast direkt unterhalb des Hotelturms im Wittelsbacher Park. Neben mehreren nicht sichtbaren Unterführungen verbindet die Gögginger Brücke an der Hermannstrasse am Ende des ausgedehnten Gleisfeldes nahe der Innenstadt (Rand des Bahnhofsviertels links oben) die früheren Vororte.English: Augsburg, railway and main station, green trees along river Wertach.

context_page_description: Augsburg Hauptbahnhof is the main railway station in the Bavarian city of Augsburg, situated in southern Germany. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 2 station and has 12 platform tracks.
  The station has one of the oldest still existing station halls in Germany, which was built from 1843 to 1846 after plans by architect Eduard Rüber. It was reconstructed in 1869 according to Friedrich Bürklein's plans. The station today serves as the central railway hub for the Augsburg metropolitan area and Bavarian Swabia. It is currently being modernised and an underground tram station is being built under it.
context_section_description: The station building has three parts. The central block has a station hall with electronic displays, ticket machines, an information booth and waiting facilities. In one wing is the customer centre of Deutsche Bahn, including a ticket office. In the other wing there is a dining and shopping area and the station library.
  The last major renovation and modernisation of the building was in 1983/84. In recent years, the food court in particular has been upgraded (completed in 2007) and a new digital display board has been installed in the main hall. Recently, the south wing was renovated, including the waiting area for travellers, and the hospitality facilities have continued to grow.
  Due to the construction of a new tramway station beyond the railway, the station building main wing is closed since 2017. It is filled up with supporting struts to avoid a collapse during the drill through of the tunnels.
