history
Regional courts
In 1803 the district court districts of Göggingen, Schwabmünchen , Wertingen and Zusmarshausen were established in today's district area . From 1808 they belonged to the Lechkreis and from 1810 to the Oberdonaukreis . In 1810 Augsburg became a city in the immediate vicinity of a district . From 1838 the regional courts belonged to the district of Schwaben and Neuburg, which later became the administrative district of Swabia .
District Offices
The district office of Göggingen was formed in 1862 through the merger of the regional courts of the older order Göggingen and Schwabmünchen. However, the seat of the Göggingen district office was moved to Augsburg on October 1, 1862, and the district office was renamed the Augsburg district office. It was responsible for the municipalities of the regional courts of the older order Göggingen and Schwabmünchen.
On the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices, the Augsburg district office received municipalities from the Krumbach and Mindelheim district offices on January 1, 1880 .
On October 1, 1900, as part of a reorganization of the districts, the Schwabmünchen district office was established by hiving off 32 communities from the Augsburg district office.
On January 1, 1911, the district office ceded the municipalities of Oberhausen and Pfersee to the city of Augsburg. Kriegshaber followed on April 1, 1916.
On October 1, 1929, with the exception of seven municipalities that came to the Wertingen District Office , all the municipalities of the dissolved Zusmarshausen District Office were incorporated into the Augsburg District Office.
Counties
On January 1, 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. The district offices became the districts of Augsburg, Schwabmünchen and Wertingen.
District of Augsburg
During the regional reform in Bavaria , a new district was formed on July 1, 1972, which was initially called the Augsburg-West district . Became its constituent parts
- all municipalities of the old district of Augsburg with the exception of the cities of Göggingen and Haunstetten and the communities of Inningen and Bergheim , which were incorporated into the independent city of Augsburg , and the communities of Schönebach and Uttenhofen , which were reclassified into the district of Günzburg
- all municipalities of the dissolved district of Schwabmünchen
- 28 communities in the dissolved district of Wertingen
- the communities of Ellgau and Nordendorf of the dissolved district of Donauwörth
- the community of Traunried in the dissolved Mindelheim district and
- the communities Heimpersdorf , Neukirchen , Oberbaar , Thierhaupten and Unterbaar of the dissolved district of Neuburg an der Donau .
Augsburg became the seat of the new district, which on May 1, 1973 was given the name "District of Augsburg", which is still valid today.
On May 1, 1978, the Traunried community moved from the Augsburg district to the Unterallgäu district, where it was incorporated into the Ettringen community . On January 1, 1994, the district was slightly downsized when the municipality of Baar was separated from the municipality of Thierhaupten and was reclassified into the district of Aichach-Friedberg.

Between 1988 and 2008, the Augsburg district gained around 45,000 inhabitants or grew by around 23%. Between 1988 and 2018, the district grew from 195,626 to 251,534 by 55,908 inhabitants or 28.6%.

traffic
Railway lines
The first railway connection to Augsburg was opened in 1840 by the Munich-Augsburg Railway Company . Just four years later, the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn ran its route from Donauwörth to Augsburg, and in 1847 extended it south towards Buchloe - Kempten. The Bavarian state then completed the Augsburg railway cross with the line to Günzburg and Ulm in 1853/54.
Further routes of the Bavarian State Railroad were opened with branches in Augsburg-Hochzoll and Mering: 1875 to Ingolstadt and 1898 to Geltendorf and Weilheim .
In Bobingen on the route to Buchloe , the Lechfeld Railway to Klosterlechfeld and Landsberg began in 1877 .
The following trains started from stations on the route to Ulm:
- from 1894 Dinkelscherben – Thannhausen
- from 1903 Augsburg – Welden
- from 1911/12 Gessertshausen – Markt Wald – Türkheim
The state railway network thus reached a maximum length of 172 km. 48 km of these were shut down for passenger traffic:
- 1966: Dinkelscherben – Thannhausen (14 km, 4 of them in the Augsburg district)
- 1986: (Augsburg–) Neusäß – Aystetten – Welden (19 km)
- 1991: Gessertshausen – Mittelneufnach – Markt Wald (25 km)
On the latter route, the Staudenbahn offers tourist traffic in summer. From December 2022, regular regular service will be offered again on this route and thus reactivated on the Langenneufnach - Gessertshausen section .
Augsburg transport company
The AVG Augsburger traffic mbH operates the public transport in Augsburg and city mountains with an electrified since 1898 meter-gauge tram, which was preceded since 1881 a standard gauge horse-drawn tram.
Streets
The A8 motorway with the Neusäß, Adelsried and Zusmarshausen junctions runs through the district in an east-west direction (coming from Augsburg) . The national road 2 , from the northern loop limit (near Allmannshofen / northern town) to the city limits Augsburg and the Federal Highway 17 are four lanes. The latter crosses Stadtbergen and then runs south of the Augsburg city limits (near Königsbrunn) in the direction of Landsberg am Lech. The federal highway 300 also opens up the district from Stadtbergen to west of Ustersbach.
