Inhabitants of the Habsburg monarchy began to dominate in the number of immigrants heading to the United States of America after year 1883. The largest numbers of emigrants were heading through the North German ports, because the journey to the north of Germany was not difficult at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Thanks to emigration, two German ports, Hamburg and Bremen, recorded the prosperity growth. Both ports played a major role in emigration as an imaginary gateway for emigrants from monarchy, and both German shipping companies, Hamburg Amerikanische Paketfahrt Aktien-Gesellschaft (HAPAG) based in Hamburg and Norddeutscher Lloyd (NDL) of which shipping departed port Bremen, must be grateful for poor emigrants from the Habsburg monarchy. German companies began to focus on the monarchy market, especially after the German government began regulating emigration from its own country, and then the two German shipping companies found a replacement in the monarchy.
