About Oberhausen
Where to stay in Oberhausen
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The Wertach cuts through here. Oberhausen gathers five Stadtbezirke into one of Augsburg's seventeen Planungsräume, which makes it a large working quarter of housing, parish churches and a river bank rather than a visitor district. Beds cluster in Augsburg proper.
Stay there and come out to the Markgräflich-Burgauisches Amtshaus, the Kapellen-Volksschule or the Hausfigur Heiliger Florian when the walk is worth the run.
About Oberhausen
What are the main landmarks in Oberhausen?
Augsburg's Oberhausen leads with its churches. St. Martin, St. Peter und Paul and St. Joseph each hold an entry. The Markgräflich-Burgauisches Amtshaus is the grandest single name on it, an administrative house the register keeps alongside the Kapellen-Volksschule and a Hausfigur of Heiliger Florian set into a wall.
The Wertach runs through the same quarter.
What is the history of Oberhausen?
Names do the record-keeping here. The Markgräflich-Burgauisches Amtshaus still carries a margravial Burgau title in its name, and the Kapellen-Volksschule marks the later stage at which the quarter needed a school of its own. Parishes came with growth.
St. Martin, St. Peter und Paul and St. Joseph divide the ground between them, and all of it counts as one of Augsburg's seventeen Planungsräume, five wards strong.
Where is Oberhausen?
Oberhausen spreads over five wards of Augsburg, in Bavaria, with the Wertach, the city's second largest river, running through it.
