The axis has long been visible on Prussian maps of Bydgoszcz, mainly as an eastbound track prolonging Frönerstraße (today's Krasińskiego Street), but was never been associated with a naming.

In the 1910s, Sielanka area plans, designed as a city-garden, were drawn by German architect Josef Stübben,[2] but due to WWI the project only took off in the 1920s, hence the appearance of Markwarta street on the maps at this time.

The street is named after Ryszard Markwart (1868–1906), a Polish priest who was a nationalist activist and head of Bromberg parish from 1899 till his death.

Square of Lieutenant Leszek Biały This green area is part of the Sielanka estate urban plan developed in the 1910s by German architect Josef Stübben.

[3] At the time this part of the city had not been touched by urban growth, as Gdańska or Dworcowa streets could have been at the end of the 19th century.

Under the code name Jakub, he was arrested in February 1945 by members of soviet controlled Ministry of Public Security and was murdered during interrogations on March 3, 1945.

[8] Building at 2, corner with 3 Maja Street 1939[9] Modern architecture The plot was purchased in 1938 by the Association of the military disabled (Polish: Związek Inwalidów Wojennych Rzeczypospolitej - ZIW) and the Association of the Blind Soldiers (Polish: Związek Ociemniałych Żołnierzy - ZOŻ) of the Republic of Poland, from a German citizen, Mr.

[9] The ground floor had a large hall and three rooms, while the upper storeys were supposed to house wounded blind soldiers and orphans children from fallen military.

After the war, both associations (ZIW and ZOŻ) were dissolved by the communist authorities in 1950: the edifice was transferred to the State Treasury.

Multidisciplinary hospital at 4/6 1947[10] Modern architecture The hospital was established on November 7, 1947, as a healthcare institution dedicated to Provincial Office of Public Security, Urząd Bezpieczeństwa Publicznego or UBP:[11] initially, it consisted of a building at Nr.6 and two floors of the abutting building at Nr.4 where was located Bydgoszcz UBP at the time.

Main highlight of the edifice is the facade on Markwarta, which bears an avant-corps supported by columns, topped by a balcony fenced with a balustrade.

[14] Entrance was made through two wrought iron gates to Markwart street, leading to the chapel located in the middle of the graveyard.

[1] Today, the villa houses the Provincial ambulance station (Polish: Wojewódzka Stacja Pogotowia Ratunkowego).

Villa at 9 Markwarta street 1927–1929,[1] by Józef Grodzki[3] Modern architecture Teoktysa Jeżewska, a retiree, is registered as first owner of the edifice in the early 1930s.

[18] The main feature of the villa is the canopied roof of the large avant-corps that juts out of the facade onto Markwarta street.

[17] The house, though needing an overhaul, features typical geometrical shapes, including a massive avant-corps with a terrace on the main elevation.
