Friedrich Ferdinand Suwe
Friedrich Ferdinand Suwe (born July 6, 1777 in Walkendorf ; † August 26, 1851 in Lübeck ) was a German pharmacist.
Life
Friedrich Ferdinand Suwe was the son and fifth of twelve children of the preacher at the Walkendorf village church and later pastor in Gnoien Nicolaus Suwe. Suwe did an apprenticeship as a pharmacist in Ticino and found his first job in the pharmacy in Nyborg on Fyn in 1798 . In 1799 he became an assistant to the council pharmacist Zigra in Lübeck and also worked for his successor. In 1806, shortly before the start of the French period in Lübeck , he acquired the pharmacy of the former pharmacist and shopkeeper Petersen in Holstenstrasse . The decline of economic life in Lübeck impaired the independence Suwes and he had to be back soon in the Ratsapotheke helping out as an assistant. In 1812 he had recovered economically and acquired a commercial building at Sandstrasse 16, where he opened the pharmacy at half moon under the name Petersen had acquired in 1806 and ran Lübeck's pharmacy until the pharmacy was handed over to his colleague G. Schliemann in 1850. Suwe dealt with the question of how fresh water can be obtained from salt water and experimented with devices designed for this purpose in order to increase the chances of seafarers' survival.
The Halbmond-Apotheke, also called Suwes Apotheke , is still in the same location in Lübeck today, but in a new building from shortly after the turn of the century, which was badly damaged in the air raid on Lübeck in 1942 and rebuilt behind the remains of the facade.
The business documents, especially recipes from 1847 to 1900, are now in the archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck .
