At the start of the 20th century, the increase in trans-shipment of maritime goods with ever greater ships necessitated a comprehensive conversion and expansion of the port in Hamburg. It was during this time that warehouses 52 and 53 of Australiakai ("Australia Quay") were built. Hamburg's last quay warehouse from the days of the German Empire is a listed building.
