The name of the street comes from the settlement that was founded around the church of St. Martin, known as a suburb of Saint Martin or simply Saint Martin (hence the name of Saint Martin street, not Saint Martin). It was mentioned for the first time in the document of April 24, 1252, in which the settlement was mentioned by the Poznań chapter to Prince Przemysł I. Part of Saint Martin, owned by the Poznań cathedral chapter, at the end of the 16th century lay in the Poznań poviat of the Poznań voivodship [2]. This suburb was incorporated into the city limits by the Prussian authorities in 1797, and its main road became ul. Saint Martin (Sankt Martin Strasse). From November 15, 1919, the western extension of the street was renamed Wjazdowa Street, and in 1935 (along with a part of Zwierzyniecka Street and the western end of Święty Marcin Street) - Marszałka Piłsudskiego Avenue. Currently, it is an integral part of Święty Marcin Street. In the years 1939–1945 the street was called Schlossfreiheit [3] (Polish: Wola Zamkowa), and in 1945–1989 the name of the Red Army [

1893 - the street became the first street in Poznań with an asphalt surface

During the Greater Poland Uprising, the Royal Hotel at ul. Święty Marcin 71 (former 38) was the headquarters of the Insurgent Army. It also housed the offices of the People's Guard and the Commissariat of the Supreme People's Council. Right next to it, in the German hotel "Deutsches Haus" at number 75 (former 40) was the headquarters of the Commissariat of the Supreme People's Council. In the interwar period, the Academic House of "Bratnej Pomocy Studników Poznanskiego" was located here.

1901 - the Berlin Gate is demolished and the street is extended to the west.

1919 after the statue of Otto von Bismarck was removed, it was decided to erect a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in this place as a votive offering for regained independence. The monument, also known as the Monument of Gratitude, was unveiled on October 30, 1932 in the presence of Primate August Hlond. The author of the design was the architect Lucjan Michałowski, the sculpture of Christ was made by Marcin Rożek and the reliefs by Kazimiera Pajzderska. The monument was blown up by the Germans in October 1939.

One of the most important streets in Poznań. It celebrates its holiday on November 11. Then a colorful procession moves down the street, led by Saint. Marcin. It is worth trying the local specialty: St. Martin's croissants.
