The Hoger der A in Groningen is a popular spot in the city of Groningen. The quay on the other side (where the photo was taken) is called the Lager der A and is actually lower. The water in the photo used to be directly connected to the sea. Unloading ships became difficult with a continuous change of ebb and flood. Therefore, a wharf was made lower (Lager der A) for when unloading was required at low tide and a higher wharf (Hoger der A) when the tide turned. This allowed the ships to unload continuously.
