The Cairns Germania Club was established on 4 July 1971 to cater for the needs of German speaking migrants with an initial nine members. The club's activities expanded to include folk dancing. In July 1980 the club wanted a clubhouse and purchased a former church in Winkworth Street for $21,000. In 1991 the organisation renamed itself the German-Austrian-Swiss Association to reflect their wider German-speaking membership, and later simplified their trading name to German Club Cairns.{{Cite web|title=Unsere Geschichte / Our history|url=https://www.germanclubcairns.com.au/history/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-04-10|website=German Austrian Swiss Association FNQ|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410161742/http://germanclubcairns.com.au/history/ |archive-date=10 April 2016 }}{{Cite web|title=57 Winkworth Street Bungalow Qld 4870|url=https://www.realestate.com.au/property/57-winkworth-st-bungalow-qld-4870|url-status=live|access-date=10 April 2021|website=Realestate.com.au|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210410042232/https://www.realestate.com.au/property/57-winkworth-st-bungalow-qld-4870 |archive-date=10 April 2021 }}
