Name origin
The Boulevard du Temple got its name from the Temple , the area of the Knights Templar that was outside Paris until the 18th century.
history
The Boulevard du Temple follows the route of the city wall by Charles V , which was demolished under Louis XIV . The road was built between 1656 and 1705 with trees on the edge.
In the time of Louis XVI. Until the July monarchy , the Boulevard du Temple was very popular: at that time it was called " Boulevard du Crime ", it is a place for strolls and entertainment, where many café concerts and theaters were concentrated that used to be at the Parisian fair theater Saint -Laurent and Saint-Germain.
On July 28, 1835, the assassination attempt on King Louis-Philippe I by Joseph Fieschi took place on this boulevard , which failed, but left 18 dead and 23 wounded.
The great Paris redesign based on Haussmann's plans completely changed this part of the Marais . Of the former theaters, only the Théâtre Déjazet remains today , while the others fell victim to the expansion of the Place de la République .

A reconstructed Boulevard du Temple is the setting for the film Children of Olympus (1945) by Marcel Carné . It was the birthplace of the tabloid theater in the 18th century , the origin of modern western entertainment culture. The theaters there were models of the Viennese suburban theaters and the Königsstädtisches Theater Berlin.
repertoire
Due to the many crime plays (see melodrama ) that ran there since around 1800, the Boulevard du Temple was nicknamed Boulevard du Crime ("Boulevard des crime"). The most important author, director and theater director in the first half of the 19th century was Pixérécourt . The Almanac des Spectacles in 1823 summed up the past 20 years: “Tautin has been slain 16,302 times, Marty has succumbed to 11,000 poisonings in various ways, Fresnoy was sacrificed 27,000 times in different ways, Miss Adèle Dupuis is innocent 75,000 times lost".
However, comic pantomimes and feasts were also performed here, and Jean-Gaspard Deburau invented the poetic figure of Pierrot in the Théâtre des Funambules .
