Augsburger Straße is a Berlin U-Bahn station on the U3 line. It is located in Charlottenburg under Nürnberger Straße where Augsburger Straße crosses it. Station and street are named for the city of Augsburg.
Augsburger Straße station was built in 1960/61 and opened on May 8, 1961, after the replacement of the Nürnberger Platz station by the new Spichernstraße interchange with the U9 line left too great a distance between stations for centre-city service. It is 491 m north of the Spichernstraße station and 615 m south of Wittenbergplatz.
The station has side platforms with exits at each end and a passenger tunnel under the tracks. The walls are tiled in dark orange or "red-brown". As at Spichernstraße, there is a drop ceiling which causes a powerful draught. There are only steps at the exits and the station is thus inaccessible to the handicapped.
