history
The citizen register of the city of Steinfurt mentions the naturalization of a master Jorgen Pepper on January 17, 1575. He founded a pharmacy in the house and on the recommendation of the Count's personal physician Arnold Holtermann in 1575 . One of the deciding factors was probably the existence of the high school in Steinfurt, whose students often belonged to striking connections. Heinrich Holtermann, a son of the doctor and several times mayor of Steinfurt, was trained in the pharmacy and later took it over. He died of the plague in 1635 , after which it was taken over by his son Arnold Holtermann. This was followed by numerous changes of ownership and problems from a competing company that had existed since 1608. In 1714 the pharmacy was renamed “Einhorn-Apotheke” by the owner Johann Heinrich Dankelmann.
It experienced an upswing in the second half of the 18th century. The owner Conrad Gempt (pharmacy manager from 1757, died 1800) became court pharmacist and renamed his “Gemptsche Apotheke” to “Apotheke zum Elephanten” on the occasion of the wedding of Count Ludwig and Duchess Juliane von Schleswig-Holstein-Glücksburg, because Count Ludwig became his Wedding also Knights of the Danish Elephant Order . Conrad Gempt's son Johann Heinrich Gempt, who later ran the pharmacy, did a lot for the smallpox vaccination . In the next generation, Johann Heinrich Gempt jun. In 1852 the pharmacy to the pharmacist Gottlieb Schröter, who died in 1867. His widow had the pharmacy run by countless pharmacists until 1886, when her son August Schröter finished his training and continued the pharmacy. He sold the pharmacy in 1904 to the pharmacist Karl Laureck, who rebuilt it several times in the first half of the 20th century and turned it into a flourishing company.
On March 22, 1945, the elephant pharmacy burned down after a phosphorus bomb hit . However, the 74-year-old Karl Laureck managed to save the historic pharmacy door and historic jars. Rebuilding was initially not possible because the procurement of the necessary building materials was not approved and an additional payment to the tax office gave him little leeway. Until his death in 1947, Laureck ran an emergency pharmacy in the premises of a former restaurant on Wasserstraße in Steinfurt-Burgsteinfurt in order to ensure the supply of medicines in Steinfurt after the Second World War . He died in 1947. His daughter Hildegard Rose (née Laureck) and his son-in-law Paul Gustav Rose rebuilt the elephant pharmacy with the old gate from 1948 onwards, initially on one floor; their son Walter Rose, in turn, redesigned the house several times from 1972 onwards and added a medical center to the pharmacy, which he had to build in the course of the old town renovation in order to avoid property expropriation by the city administration.
In 1996 the historic pharmacy door was restored and awarded as Restoration of the Year. The listed pharmacy store was renovated in 2007 and an annex was added.
Walter Rose's son Olaf now runs the elephant pharmacy. He set up a sterile laboratory to supply cystic fibrosis patients with infusion pumps and solutions and had the elephant pharmacy expanded and modernized in 1999/2000. A close cooperation with the German Parkinson's Association at times led to a special focus. Olaf Rose has been known in professional circles for his commitment to medication management since completing his Doctor of Pharmacy studies in the USA. Since 2011 he has been coordinating the monthly series on medication management in the Deutsche Apotheker Zeitung, where he has been publishing the pharmacotherapy series since 2014. Together with Kristina Friedland, he is the editor of the textbook applied pharmacotherapy. In 2016 he published the results of a large study on medication management funded by the EU and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the College of Pharmacy and was admitted to the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe as an independent researcher in 2015.
