Named after Augsburger Straße, which honours the Bavarian city of Augsburg.
Planned in the Hobrecht Plan of 1862, the street was laid out by 1887 and named after Augsburg on 11 March that year. Augsburg, also known as Augusta Vindelicorum, is today the third-largest city in Bavaria. In the Golden Twenties the street had many well-known venues, such as the bar ‘Kakadu’, a meeting place for artists and stars.
