The station was established in September 1847 with the opening of the Augsburg – Buchloe railway and put into operation under the name of '' Morellstraße '' . Augsburg was prefixed to the name on 6 October 1940 . After the establishment of the Augsburg Local Railway ( '' Augsburger Localbahn '' ) a branch was built in 1899 from Morellstraße station to Haunstetten in the local industrial area to connect to the companies of '' Martini & Cie '' , '' SWA '' and '' Kunstmühle Kühn '' . In the Second World War , a major part of the deportations from the Augsburg region to the occupied territories in eastern Europe , including to the Auschwitz concentration camp were conducted from Morellstraße station — only a few transports to Theresienstadt concentration camp ran from Augsburg Central Station ( '' Hauptbahnhof '' )
