The 22-year-old midfielder, who has made the switch to WWK-Arena on a season-long loan deal, told reporters at a press conference:
"I have a great relationship with [Hertha coach] Pal [Dardai]. We appreciate each other. But my talks with Augsburg were so good that I wanted to play here.
"It wasn't an escape from Hertha, but a well-considered decision.
"It's important for me to develop further, and I think I have the best conditions for that here at Augsburg."
Maier spent last season on loan at Arminia Bielefeld, featuring 16 times.
