In the second half of the 19th century, a complex of railway sidings was built north from the Stawki Street, serving the then Warszawa Nadwiślańska Station (later, Warszawa Gdańska). In the interwar period (1918-1939), it was mainly used by the Municipal Supply Services of Warsaw. During WWII, the place, called "Umschlagplatz" by Nazis ("reloading point"), served a point where Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto we gathered before being transported to the death camp in Treblinka.
