The Boulevard Montmartre ([ bulvaʁ mɔ̃.maʁtʁ ], German "Märtyrerhügel" ) is a 215 meter long boulevard in the 2nd and 9th arrondissement of Paris and is one of the four Grands Boulevards des Rive Droite .
location
The Boulevard Montmartre lies between the Boulevards Poissionière and Haussmann . It starts at rue Montmartre / rue du Faubourg Montmartre and ends at rue de Richelieu / rue Drouot. It is served by Métro Paris by Métroline 8 and 9 ( Richelieu - Drouot stop ).
Name origin
The boulevard derives its name from the nearby Porte Montmartre and not from Montmartre , as the name suggests, because it is not located on this hill.
history
The Boulevard Montmartre was created after the outdated fortress wall by Louis XIII was removed . in 1679, which had become superfluous, and whose old ramparts led through undeveloped farmland (swamp area). It was ordered by letters patent as part of the reorganization of the streets in Paris. Work began in July 1676 and ended in 1705.
The area between the boulevard and the old perimeter wall, which was located behind today's Rue Feydeau (formerly Rue des Fossés-Montmartre), was urbanized from the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th century with the construction of private villas, the land in the north from the middle of the 18th century through the construction of the Augny mansion (today the town hall of the 9th arrondissement of Paris ).
The boulevards Saint-Denis , Saint-Martin , du Temple , de Filles du Calvaire and Beaumarchais were built in June 1670 . In July 1676 a patent approved its construction, which came to a preliminary end in 1705 and was finally completed in 1763. It got its name after the old city gate Porte Montmartre , which was demolished in 1633. During the French Revolution it was called boulevard Montmarat (another word for Montmartre) between 1793 and 1795 . On May 4, 1826, a royal decree fixed its width at 35 meters, and on March 2, 1864 it was given its current name.
