history

The first pharmacy in Limburg was operated by Johann Erben between 1615 and 1673. In that year the mayor and pharmacist Johann Philipp Klos opened a pharmacy that was on the side of the Roach until 1727 and then moved to the fish market by the mayor and pharmacist Johann Jodocus Horst . The house inscription on the official pharmacy building in Grabenstrasse therefore names 1605 as the year it was founded. World icon

The first privilege still preserved today to operate a pharmacy in Limburg dates back to 1709. Archbishop Johann von Trier granted the pharmacist Marckthaler a license in this document. Marckthaler had bought the existing Wentzel pharmacy. In the concession document for Marckthaler, the archbishop refers to an electoral Trier privilege from 1663 to Wentzel.

In 1756 the pharmacy was sold to Marckthaler's son-in-law Johann Jodokus Horst. This received a renewed privilege from Archbishop Johann Philipp . In 1766 the pharmacy passed into the possession of his son-in-law Johann Anton Asam, who received a privilege from Archbishop Clemens Wentzlaus .

In 1802 the property passed to his nephew Rudolph Burkhard. He received a privilegium exclusivum from Archbishop Clemens Wentzlaus, which was confirmed by Prince Friedrich Wilhelm after the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803. Burkhard himself was not a pharmacist and therefore had the pharmacy administered by provisional agents. After his death in 1806, his widow inherited the pharmacy and kept the privilege for herself and her children. The provisional Jakob Wolff from Ahrweiler married the daughter of Burkhard and received a privilege from Duke Friedrich August in 1811 .

According to the medical edict of 1818, Jakob Wolff was appointed official pharmacist for the Limburg office. The pharmacy remained in the possession of the Wolff family during the time of the Duchy of Nassau. In 1867 the pharmacy was moved to Grabenstrasse 32 . World icon
