Excellent future prospects Important facts in brief

The central location and good connections via the federal motorways 8 and 96 as well as the motorway-like federal road 17 attract companies from the logistics sector, among others. The central location offers high purchasing power and an ideal connection to your customers and suppliers. Munich International Airport is one hour away. And you can also reach European destinations in a short time with the ICE and TGV.

A region with a future
The district of Augsburg is a good place to work and live. To ensure that even the youngest children in the region have excellent opportunities for the future, the district of Augsburg has invested around 143 million euros in education in recent years. By 2025, a further 164 million euros will be spent on the future-oriented construction and expansion of educational facilities. The International School (ISA) in Gersthofen offers a very special service. The district of Augsburg bears the official seal of quality ‘Bildungsregion Bayern’. The educational stakeholders here are closely networked and offer a wide range of programmes. The next step is to strive for the ‘Digital Education Region’ award.
Recreation on cultural and historical paths
There is a wide range of leisure activities for those seeking relaxation. Extensive forest areas and rolling hills characterise a large part of the Augsburg region. You can explore the only nature park in Swabia, the ‘Western Forests’, on over 2,500 kilometres of marked cycling and hiking trails. The world-famous Fugger, Mozart and Ganghofer families have left their cultural and historical traces here. Oberschönenfeld Abbey, the oldest Cistercian abbey still active in Germany, is located in the Stauden, the Fuggers' economic and financial empire originated in southern Lechfeld and the picturesque monasteries of Thierhaupten and Holzen in the northern part of the district are well worth a detour. The Augsburg region is therefore a centre of attraction for business and families. Living in the rural areas is still affordable even for young families.
