It is located south of the centre of Augsburg on the border of the districts of Antonsviertel and Hochfeld.

[2] The station was established in September 1847 with the opening of the Augsburg–Buchloe railway and put into operation under the name of Morellstraße.

[6] 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.

[7] 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).

Between the third and fourth track from the east there is a central platform, which is accessible via an underpass from Von-der-Tann-Strasse.
