The names of these German settlers can be seen in the names of streets in Nundah and surrounding suburbs such as Rode Road and Gerler Road.
==== Growth of the village of German Station ====
A prominent local citizen who contributed significantly to the development of the village of German Station was [[George Bridges (Nundah pioneer)|George Bridges]] (1820–1898). George and his young family immigrated from [[Wilstead]], [[Bedfordshire]], England to Queensland in 1852 aboard the "Marie Somes". In 1855, he acquired {{convert|64|acre|ha}} of land north of Buckland Road and east of Sandgate Road for farming. However, as [[Sandgate, Queensland|Sandgate]] became an increasingly popular holiday destination, the increasing volume of coach traffic along Sandgate Road encouraged him to open a hotel in 1866,<ref>{{cite news|date=16 June 1922|title=Old Brisbane Inns.|volume=XCIII|page=15|newspaper=[[The Week (Brisbane)|The Week]]|issue=2,425|location=Queensland, Australia|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article192979367|via=National Library of Australia|

German Station remained an agricultural area until the 1880s. In 1881, Queensland State Government purchased a strip of land across George Bridges's property to build a railway link between [[Brisbane]] and [[Sandgate, Queensland|Sandgate]]. The railway opened in 1882 and resulted in a suburban residential construction boom on Brisbane's northside.<ref name="mking" /> This urban sprawl was also encouraged by the ''[[Undue Subdivision of Land Prevention Act 1885]]'', which mandated minimum lot sizes for new urban developments.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.subtropicaldesign.bee.qut.edu.au/documents/SkinnerSmallLot.pdf|title=When a little is a Lot: an architect's view|publisher=Queensland Planner|date=March 2004|author=P.R.
