Augsburger Straße station was built in 1960/61 and opened on 8 May 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 city centre service. It is 491 m north of the Spichernstraße station and 615 m south of Wittenbergplatz.[1]
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".[2] As at Spichernstraße, there is a drop ceiling which causes a powerful draught.[1] There are only stairs at the exits, thus this station is inaccessible to people with mobility problems.
