Malakkasstrasse

Malakkasstrasse is the name of more than one street in German-speaking regions. It is not associated with a single city and may appear in municipalities across Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. The spelling follows the German practice of using Strasse or Straße for "street".

The name derives from Malakka/Malacca, the historic port region in Southeast Asia, or from related to the Malacca Strait. In German-speaking countries, streets with overseas-place names were commonly added during the late 19th and early 20th centuries as part of urban naming schemes, commemorations, or thematic districts. Consequently, the specific origin behind an individual Malakkasstrasse can vary and may reflect local historical interests rather than a universal meaning.

On maps and in postal records, Malakkasstrasse typically designates a short urban street or a longer residential block. Signage generally uses either Malakkasstrasse or the orthographic variant Malakkasstraße, depending on the local convention. Because the name is not unique, it is usually identified by its municipality and postal code to avoid confusion.
