Engel Pharmacy (Regensburg)
The Engel Apotheke is a pharmacy in the old town of Regensburg . It is the second oldest pharmacy in Germany after the Löwen Apotheke in Trier .
history
The pharmacy was founded on Wahlenstrasse in 1259; the first pharmacist was probably Heinrich Peisinger. In 1637 the pharmacy relocated to its current location: the then pharmacist Cornelius Devenne bought the property at TÄNDERGasse 22–24, on the corner of Neupfarrplatz . The house was destroyed in 1519 during the expulsion of the Jews and rebuilt in 1563 by Ulrich Schmidl , a co-founder of Buenos Aires. Cornelius Devenne sold the property to Johann Paul Schlapp in 1672.
The pharmacy has probably been called "Engel Apotheke" since the 18th century. A famous pharmacist in the “Engel Apotheke” was Ernst Wilhelm Martius , who in 1790 co-founded the Regensburg Botanical Society , the oldest still existing botanical association in the world.
The Sonntag family shaped the pharmacy from 1891 to 1998. Johannes Sonntag bought them, set up a huge herb store and in 1923 founded the ISO factory for the production of natural medicines. He ran his own medicinal plant cultivation and founded his own publishing bookstore for homeopathic writings. In 1987 the ISO factory was sold to the DHU Schwabe group of companies in Karlsruhe. The “last Sunday”, pharmacist Rolf Sonntag took over the pharmacy in 1951 and in 1991 celebrated “100 years of the Sonntag family in the Engel pharmacy”. He died in June 1998.
In April 1999 Christine Grid reopened the pharmacy. Antje Bullmann, who has been a pharmacist at "Engel Apotheke" since 2006, took over the management of the pharmacy in October 2015.
