The original building was a two-story residential building with a central projectile with a rafter gable under a flat gable roof. The two-storey, Art Nouveau extension from 1904 on Hermann-Ilgen-Strasse has a polygonal floor plan.

The Art Nouveau alignment of the building led to a “picturesque, uniform assembly group” with concave undulating gables in the main and side views with a mansard tent roof. The plastered building is structured by pilaster strips as well as different structural plasters and a few stucco work .

In the left side view there is a two-story arcade architecture with half-timbering and an auxiliary building. The entrance in the middle of the building was given a curved copper canopy.

history

At that time the Löwen pharmacy in Kötzschenbroda, around 1890. Ilgens owned, still with its own front garden

The pharmacist Irmler opened the first pharmacy in Lößnitz as early as 1760, but converted it into a general store in 1772. This was where the exclusive salt trading license for Kötzschenbroda lay until the 19th century. In the building Altkötzschenbroda 48 there was a sparkling wine cellar for a short time from 1845 and from 2002 the restaurant "Alte Apotheke".

In the Kötzschenbroda village of 1803, the pharmacy law is explicitly mentioned, but it was not until 1826 that Johann Gottlieb Strasser opened a new pharmacy in Kötzschenbroda in what is now Kötitzer Strasse, at that time with an attached materials store. His successor Friedrich Waldemar Vogel moved the pharmacy to the building at Bahnhofstrasse 19 on December 24, 1870 and renamed it "Löwen-Apotheke". The building was built in 1867 for the farmer and landowner Karl Traugott Schubert by the master builder August Große . Heinrich Moll bought the pharmacy in 1875.

Moll's successor Hermann Ilgen took over the run down Löwen pharmacy in 1882 or 1888 for the enormous purchase price of 120,000 marks , which he completely renovated. During this time Ilgen brought a new type of rat and mouse poison onto the market, the phosphor pill , which he was able to sell successfully worldwide, which earned him the nickname “Mouse Death” in addition to a large fortune. The purchase price is explained by the fact that Ilgen's predecessor had already produced the mouse poison in his pharmacy.

In 1883 Ilgen had married Anna Mathilde Steffen from Leipzig, whereby he was related to the wealthy Leipzig building officer Otto Heinrich Steffen. His wife owned valuable land near what is now Leipzig Central Station. In the same year Ilgen co-founded the Sparkasse in Kötzschenbroda, which moved into a building right next to his pharmacy. After the pharmacy was sold to Gustav von Schleppegrell in 1892 or 1894, Ilgen moved to Dresden , where he devoted himself to real estate business and his patronage .

The owner from 1903, pharmacist Curt Schnabel, renamed the pharmacy "Apotheke zu Kötzschenbroda" and in 1904 had Georg Heinsius von Mayenburg (realized by Alfred Große ) add an Art Nouveau extension to the side facing Hermann-Ilgen-Straße. In 1907 the style of the main building was adapted by the same architect and the shop front was built. Schnabel was made an honorary citizen of the city of Kötzschenbroda in 1926. His son-in-law took over the business in 1927, and his family continued to run it until 1969.

From 1969 to 1972 and again in 1999/2000 the building was extensively renovated.
