Where to stay in Hochfeld
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Hotels are not the point in Hochfeld. Streets like Professor-Steinbacher-Straße run between the churches and the railway ground, so a stay here sits among houses and rail land rather than in the middle of Augsburg. The Augsburg Railway Park and the Forstmuseum Waldpavillon are the reasons to come out.

About Hochfeld
What are the main landmarks in Hochfeld?
Rail heritage leads here. The Augsburg Railway Park is the quarter's railway monument, and St. Canisius, the Paul-Gerhardt-Kirche, and Zum Guten Hirten give Hochfeld three protected churches on Bavaria's register. The Forstmuseum Waldpavillon adds a forestry collection.
A further monument stands on Professor-Steinbacher-Straße.
What is the history of Hochfeld?
Industry left the clearest marks. The Augsburg Railway Park keeps the quarter's railway inheritance, and the former Kontorhaus of the Silbermann firm, an Augsburg company's office building, stands on the same Bavarian register of protected buildings. Older ground shows up in the register too, through the Samian ware discovery site listed as Augsburg-Oberhausen.
Bavaria records the rest as numbered monuments.
Where is Hochfeld?
The quarter lies inside the city of Augsburg in Bavaria, its streets, Professor-Steinbacher-Straße among them, running up against railway ground.
