The Martiusstrasse in Munich district of Schwabing leads from the Leopold Street to Kißkaltplatz.
It was named after the naturalist Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius . He was director of the Botanical Garden in Munich and a member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences .
Appearance
Martiusstraße is a protected building ensemble consisting of a row of stately tenement houses, which were built in the early 20th century as a closed concept within two years in the then contemporary Art Nouveau style . The street had already been designed around 1885 before Schwabing was incorporated into Munich as a connecting stretch of road between Leopoldstrasse, then known as Schwabinger Landstrasse, and Koeniginstrasse . It was built between 1906 and 1908 in the western section up to what was then Kaulbachplatz (today Kißkaltplatz). As the eastern extension of the Elisabeth- / Franz-Joseph-Straße axis, Martiusstraße also became a preferred area for stately apartment buildings in Schwabing. Anton Hatzl, architect and owner at the same time, had a closed row of four buildings (No. 1, 3, 5, 7) built on the north side and another building (No. 4) opposite to the south. This was supplemented by two similarly designed houses (No. 6, 8) by Franz Popp. Only the latter has lost its elaborate facade design in the course of the repair of war damage, so that its former architectural importance as a structurally emphasized prelude to the street row together with the unchanged property at Martiusstraße 7 is no longer clearly evident. Under a uniform conception, four-storey elegant apartment buildings with the plasticity and rich ornamentation characteristic of the neo-baroque Art Nouveau were built on the short, straight stretch of street . The adjacent buildings complement the street space.
South of Martiusstraße in the area of house number 2 there are body graves of the early Middle Ages, protected by the BLfD as ground memorials (D-1-7835-0419).

traffic
The Metro bus line 54, the night bus lines 43 and 44 and bus lines 150 and 154 run in both directions through the Martiusstrasse. A tram line through Martiusstrasse has been under discussion since the 1990s, which is to be led from Kurfürstenplatz through Martiusstrasse to the English Garden, past the Chinese Tower , and which would create a north bypass between Neuhausen and Bogenhausen . According to the wishes of the city of Munich, the garden tram should be operated with batteries in order to be able to do without overhead lines in the English Garden, but the Free State of Bavaria, as the property owner of the English Garden, refused the tram connection for a long time. The final decision for the construction is still pending.
Prominent residents
The zoologist and evolutionary biologist Richard Semon lived in Martiusstraße 7. From 1937 to 1944 the poet Max Halbe lived in Martiusstraße 6. From 1911 to 1944 Max Mayrshofer had his studio on Martiusstraße. The writer Josef Ponten also lived with his wife, the painter Julia Ponten von Broich (1880–1947) at Martiusstrasse 7.
Otto Stangl and his wife Etta founded the modern gallery Etta and Otto Stangl on a high floor at Martiusstraße 7 in 1948 , which existed there with its business premises until 1962 and was one of the most important meeting places for avant-garde artists in Munich. Accordingly, the ZEN 49 group , a group of seven German artists, was founded in Stangl's gallery in 1949. The Rüdiger Schöttle gallery , founded in 1968 on Prinzregentenstrasse , was located at Martiusstrasse 7 until 2002 .
When, on the night of June 21, 1962, two policemen tried to prevent five young guitarists from making music on the corner of Martiusstrasse and Leopoldstrasse , this led to street battles between up to 40,000 mainly young protesters and, in some cases, mounted policemen who were considered to be the Schwabing riots in the history books came in.
Martiusstrasse has also found its place in the novel Doktor Faustus by Thomas Mann . In the late work of Thomas Mann he described from 1919 on “Dr. Sixtus Kridwiß ”, a graphic artist, held“ Gentlemen's Evenings ”in Martiusstrasse. Emil Preetorius served Thomas Mann as a model for the figure Kridwiss.
