The old pharmacy in Bleckede

The Alte Apotheke in Bleckede is the oldest pharmacy in the city of Bleckede and one of the oldest pharmacies in what is today the district of Lüneburg in Lower Saxony .

history

After an initiative of the Brunswick-Lüneburg Elector George I , the pharmacist Carl Friedrich Michaelis settled in Bleckede in 1735, where there had also been a doctor since 1710 . According to a document of the time, the pharmacist Michaelis was allowed to sell not only medicines, but also jams, liqueurs, wine and brandy. In 1764 the pharmacy privilege was transferred to Michaelis' son-in-law Georg Wilhelm Busch. After the death of Carl Friedrich Michaelis in 1775, Busch continued to run the pharmacy. Until 1947 only members of the Busch family owned the pharmacy. After the death of Carl Busch, who died childless, the widow leased the company to the pharmacist Hermann Sandmann. After Hermann Sandmann had to give up his business for reasons of age, Karl Naegeli continued to run the pharmacy as owner until Inken Weiseth took over the Alte Apotheke in Bleckede in 2008.
