Hochzoll is one of seventeen Planungsräume of Augsburg, a Bavarian city quarter carried east of the Lech.
About Hochzoll
Where to stay in Hochzoll
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
The Lech separates Hochzoll from the centre of Augsburg, so a bed here trades the city centre for the quieter ground between the river and the Friedberg boundary. The Kuhsee anchors the southern end. Friedberg's streets begin immediately east, which puts a second town within reach of anyone who finds Hochzoll itself booked out.
About Hochzoll
What are the main landmarks in Hochzoll?
Churches mark the quarter. St. Matthäus and the Katholische Pfarrkirche Heilig Geist serve as parish churches, and the Wallfahrtskapelle Maria Alber, a chapel whose name records a pilgrimage, joins them among the protected buildings Bavaria lists for Augsburg. Three canoe courses sit on the same register, at Am Eiskanal, on Spickelstraße, and beside the Lech.
One further listing crosses the boundary into Friedberg.
What is the history of Hochzoll?
Seventeen Planungsräume divide Augsburg. Hochzoll is the eastern one, carried past the Lech to the line where the city stops and the town of Friedberg takes over. The Wallfahrtskapelle Maria Alber preserves the memory of a pilgrimage on this ground, and the Bavarian heritage register lists a run of protected buildings and canoe courses across the quarter.
The Kuhsee south of the houses is artificial, its water drawn from the same river.
Where is Hochzoll?
The Lech runs along Hochzoll's western edge, the artificial Kuhsee sits at its southern end, and Friedberg begins where the city boundary falls.
