The line was constructed as part of the Bavarian Maximilian Railway (German:Bayerische Maximiliansbahn), named after Maximilian II, king of Bavaria from 1848 to 1864. In 1851, it was decided to build a line connecting the German states and Italy via the Brenner Pass and via Salzburg towards Vienna and the Semmering Pass. It promised good traffic flows to and from the AustrianAdriatic port at Trieste. Appropriate conventions were agreed with the Kingdom of Württemberg and with the Austrian government in 1851. The Munich–Augsburg line, which had been opened by the Munich–Augsburg Railway Company (München-Augsburger Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft) in 1839 and 1840 and nationalised in 1846 was included in the new line.
The 83.7 km line from Augsburg to Ulm was opened in four sections:
1 May 1854 – Mitte Donaubrücke Ulm–Neu-Ulm, 1.3 km.
26 September 1853 – Neu-Ulm–Burgau, 38.1 km.
1 May 1854 – Burgau–Dinkelscherben, 17.9 km.
26 September 1853 – Dinkelscherben–Augsburg, 26.4 km.
The line todayedit
The line is a major traffic axis. Every hour or two Intercity-Express and InterCity trains run from Munich via Augsburg and Ulm to Stuttgart and from there to various other destinations.
