[[File:Wzwz schwabing 38.JPG|thumb|Corner Martius-/Kaulbachstraße]]
The '''Martiusstraße''' in [[Munich]] [[Schwabing]] leads from [[Leopoldstrasse|Leopoldstraße]] to Kißkaltplatz. It was named after naturalist [[Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius]]. He was director of the ''[[Alter Botanischer Garten (Munich)|Alter Botanischer Garten]]'' in Munich and member of the [[Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities]].
== Appearance ==
The Martiusstraße is a [[Cultural heritage management|protected building]] ensemble consisting of a number of state apartment units, which were built in the early 20th century as a closed concept, over a two-year period, in what was then a contemporary [[Art Nouveau]] style. The road had already been designed around 1885 before the [[annexation]] of Schwabing to Munich, as a connecting piece of road between Leopoldstraße, then still called ''Schwabinger Landstraße'' (highway from Schwabing), and Königinstraße. The western section was built between 1906 and 1908 to the then Kaulbachplatz (today Kißkaltplatz). As an eastern extension of the axis between Elisabeth- / Franz-Joseph-Straße, Martiusstraße was also a preferred area for state apartment buildings in Schwabing. Anton Hatzl, architect and owner, built a closed row of four buildings (No. 1, 3, 5, 7) on the north side and another building (No. 4) to the south. They were later supplemented by two similar designed houses (No. 6, 8) by Franz Popp. Only the latter has lost its elaborate [[facade]] design due to the removal of damages and debris from the war, therefore the former architectural importance as structurally emphasized prelude of the street line, together with the unchanged object Martiusstraße 7, no longer comes across clearly. Under a uniform conception, four-storey, elegant apartment units in the [[Baroque Revival architecture|neo-baroque]] Art Nouveau style of plasticity and rich ornamentation were created on the short, straight street section. The adjacent buildings complement the street space.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
South of Martiusstraße, in the area of house number 2, [[Bavarian State Office for Monument Protection|BLfD]]'s historically protected monument [[Grave field|body graves]] of the early [[Middle Ages]] can be found.

The [[Bus rapid transit|Metrobus]] line 54, the [[Night service (public transport)|night bus]] lines 43 and 44, as well as the bus lines 150 and 154, lead in both directions through the Martiusstraße. Already since the 1990s, a [[Trams in Munich|tram]] line through the Martiusstraße came into discussion and was intended to pass by the Kurfürstenplatz through Martiusstraße into the ''[[Englischer Garten]]'' (English garden) at the ''Chinesischer Turm'' (Chinese tower) and would therefore create a northern tangent between [[Neuhausen-Nymphenburg|Neuhausen]] and [[Bogenhausen]]. The garden tram was to be operated, according to the request of the city of Munich, with [[Rechargeable battery|batteries]] in order avoid having [[overhead line]]s in the ''Englischer Garten'', the Free State of [[Bavaria]] as a landowner of the ''Englischer Garten'' rejected the tram connection for a long time.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The final decision for the construction is still pending.
