history

The origin goes back to a bridge over the Lech in the year 980. Since the Lech is the historical border between Upper Bavaria and Swabia and the bridge building was very expensive, bridge tariffs , the so-called high tariff , from which the place name Hochzoll was derived. As can be seen from the town charter of the community Friedberg from 1264, the Lech was at that time also the border between Augsburg and Friedberg. The area of ​​today's Hochzoll belonged to Friedberg until 1818 and was initially referred to as Friedberger Au after the spin-off . It was not until 1905 that the old name Hochzoll could be used again. Because it was part of Upper Bavaria at that time, Hochzoll Old Bavaria is still included today.

The history of the district has always been strongly influenced by bridge building. In 1639 the Lech Bridge went up in flames due to the war and can only be renewed with a grant from the imperial city of Augsburg. In 1646, when Augsburg was besieged by the French and Swedes, the bridge went up again in flames. The destroyed bridge was rebuilt in 1796 by carpenters from Augsburg on behalf of the French general Moreau . In 1797 the bridge was burned down by French troops, and it was rebuilt in the following two years. In 1800, the Bavarian military severely damaged the bridge, which resulted in immediate repairs. Only a few years later the bridge was completely renovated. From 1803 the floodplains east of the Lech are increasingly populated, namely by Protestant colonists from the Nördlinger Ries . In 1818 the scattered settlement comprised 24 properties and was spun off from Friedberg. Hochzoll, Kolonie, Kolonie an der Lechbrücke and Einöden now form the rural community Friedbergerau with 172 inhabitants .

The ARA bridge over the Lech forms the connection to the city center. The Augsburg – Munich railway line also crosses the Lech around 200 m south of the road bridge . To the east of the bridge is the Augsburg-Hochzoll train station , where the Paartalbahn to Ingolstadt branches off the main line. This branch line continues to run roughly parallel to the B 300, while the main line turns in a long curve to the south towards Munich and the Ammersee region. With the Fuggerexpress you have a good connection to Munich (journey time approx. 30 minutes). With the Bavarian Regiobahn you have a direct connection in the direction of Ammersee.

Local public transport in Augsburg is served by several bus routes operated by the Augsburger Verkehrsgesellschaft and regional bus routes.
