Friedrich Bellingrodt (born March 17, 1830 in Daaden ; † March 9, 1904 in Cologne ) was the first pharmacist in Oberhausen , and as a volunteer local politician , he made outstanding contributions to the development of the city of Oberhausen.

Life

Friedrich Bellingrodt was the son of a country pharmacist in Daaden. After attending a Latin school , he began an apprenticeship as a pharmacist in Düren . After various professional positions, including briefly as an assistant in his father's pharmacy, and the meanwhile completed military service as a one-year volunteer in the position of a military pharmacist , he finally opened the first pharmacy in 1860, two years before the mayor of Oberhausen was founded in the Oberhausen area.

From 1864 on - initially as a local councilor, from 1875 as an honorary alderman and at times also as deputy mayor - he helped establish the young mayor's office. On June 20, 1893, he was made honorary citizen of the city of Oberhausen for these achievements .

After 1893 Bellingrodt retired and moved to Cologne, where he began researching the history of Cologne's pharmacy business from 1898. He was an honorary member of the German Pharmacists' Association and died in Cologne in 1904 of pneumonia.
