history

In the first centuries of its existence, Bayreuth was without doctors and pharmacists . It was not until the last years of the 16th century that the first doctor appeared in Bayreuth , after the first real pharmacy , the Adler pharmacy, had been established a few decades earlier . The first pharmacist who had a pharmaceutical training and dealt in pharmaceuticals was called Friedrich Hainold. His successor, Johann Drosendorf, made medicines himself. In 1579 he set up the first “officinam pharmaceuticam zu Baireuth”, the upper pharmacy on the market “to the golden imperial eagle ”.

In 1605 Johann von Gera bought "the whole corpus of the Apotecke" for 720 Kaufschillings and 20 Reichstaler . In 1621 he received a privilege from Margrave Christian zu Bayreuth , “that only an honest corpus medicinale and pharmacy should be set up”. The original certificate has been preserved and is in the Adler pharmacy. In the meantime, further pharmacies had been set up in Bayreuth, the early Hof-Apotheke (1613) and the von Schmauß'sche Apotheke (1614) as the second city pharmacy. Nothing is known about the fate of the farm pharmacy, the Schmauß'sche pharmacy fell victim to the great city fire in 1621. So in 1621 Johann von Gera became the sole pharmacist in Bayreuth again.

After his death, his widow managed the pharmacy. His daughter married the pharmacist JL Pfaffenreuther from Regensburg in September 1642 and the pharmacy passed into his possession. Pfaffenreuther received some medical privileges, which were later withdrawn. Because of his high prices, he got into trouble with the mayor and the city council. Wolfgang Perger worked as a journeyman for him from 1651 to 1669, the first owner of the Mohren pharmacy (since July 1672).

The pharmacy was sold to Hieronymus de Venne in 1672. After his death in 1689, his widow married the pharmacist Gottfried Buchwälder, who died that same year and the enterprising widow married for the third time. Their choice fell on the pharmacist Edler Herr von Hopfer, who thereby brought the pharmacy into his possession in 1690. This marriage was also short-lived, von Hopfer died in 1694 and the widow sold the pharmacy to Johann L. Kellner. However, this soon moved back to Nuremberg (1697) and in the same year the pharmacist Heinrich Bernhard Nohr acquired the pharmacy for the golden imperial eagle. He owned the pharmacy until his death in 1720. The Nohr family coat of arms carved in stone with the initials "HBN" can still be seen on Maximilianstrasse 47 today.

Other owners of the Adler pharmacy were: 1723–1740 Johann Gottlieb Wittig, 1752–1757 Elias Gottfried Wittig, 1757–1760 Ernst Wilhelm Weinel, 1760–1774 Gottfried Rudolf Schröder, 1714–1777 Naumann, 1777–1802 Johann Samuel Graf, 1802– 1813 Karl Vogel, administration of the pharmacy until 1827, 1827–1835 Eduard Vogel, 1835–1840 Wenz, 1840–1854 Schüller, 1854–1862 von Löwenich, 1862–1866 Herding, 1866–1876 farmer, 1876–1881 Oskar Dunst, 1881– 1902 Fritz Hofmann.

Shortly after the beginning of the 20th century, on April 1, 1902 the pharmacy of the government pharmacists Pharmazierat acquired Ludwig space from Nuremberg (paintings in the Offizin the Eagle Pharmacy). In contrast to most of its predecessors, the Raum family owned the pharmacy for three generations until June 30, 1993.

On July 1, 1993, the Adler pharmacy was opened by the two pharmacists Wolfgang Bauer and Dr. Thomas Dennstedt taken over. Until autumn 1997 the Adler pharmacy was run in the form of an oHG . Wolfgang Bauer has been the sole owner since September 1997, Dr. Dennstedt left the oHG and took over the pharmacy in the Rotmain-Center in September 1997. In April 2004 the Hof-Apotheke Bayreuth became the first branch pharmacy of the Adler-Apotheke, which was followed in July 2006 by the Hummelgau-Apotheke Mistelbach .
