Augsburg-Universitätsviertel

It consists of one Stadtbezirk, (English: Ward) out of the 41 that make up the city, the 32nd, with which its planning district is coterminous.

The district, with many university students, has a lower percentage of foreign-born residents than other areas of Augsburg, with only 13.1% compared to the citywide average of 16.7%.

The university in its current form was founded in 1970, and is the successor to the University of Dillingen, located in Dillingen an der Donau, and which was existed between 1551 and 1802 and was a philosophical and theological institution under the bishops of Augsburg.

The campus is built on top of the old Augsburg airport, which was decommissioned at the end of World War II.

A portion of the airfield still exists, and today is home to an environmental organization, a Volkswagen warehouse, and a BMX track.
