characterization

Josefinum Hospital

The urban development of Augsburg-Oberhausen is characterized by workers' quarters that arose with the industrial revolution . The area was completely built up and developed between 1850 and 1900. Most of the building stock also dates from this time. In terms of structure, the buildings are mostly single-family and two-family houses. There are apartment buildings with four, six or more apartments, mainly along the main traffic axes Ulmer Straße and Donauwörther Straße. There is also a large number of retailers, crafts and services.

This part of Oberhausen is also called Hettenbachviertel after the stream of the same name. In the west of the district, a large, disused gas boiler from the Augsburg gas works can be seen from afar. There is now a museum there. Cultural events are also held there. There are also abrupt changes in the north. To the north and west of the Eschenhof there is an industrial area with dotted apartments. By contrast, less than 100 meters away on Schönbachstrasse is a garden and new housing estate. Along the Wertach there are some old trees and many allotment gardens.

Although Oberhausen was founded by the Alemanni in the 8th or 9th century, it was at this point as early as 15 BC. A Roman military camp. It was first mentioned in a document in 1150. The older parts of the parish church of St. Peter and Paul , the current structure of which was built in 1604, are said to date from this period . Due to its proximity to Augsburg city center, the village of Oberhausen was often attacked by enemies in the Middle Ages. In this context the Thirty Years' War deserves special mention.

With the beginning of industrialization in the 19th century, Oberhausen turned into an industrial workers' suburb. The associated increase in population made it necessary to build various social institutions. In addition to the construction of schools and places of worship, the Josefinum was inaugurated in 1902 . This hospital still exists today and is one of the largest German maternity and children's hospitals.

Due to the high construction and maintenance costs of the new public buildings and the sewer system, Markt Oberhausen was forced to give up its independence. On January 1, 1911, Oberhausen was incorporated into the city of Augsburg.
