Farm pharmacy Biebrich
The court pharmacy in Biebrich has existed since the 18th century and was the court pharmacy of the Dukes of Nassau. In addition to this pharmacy, the pharmacy in Wiesbaden was also allowed to call itself Hofapotheke.
history
A first pharmacy in Biebrich is said to have existed as early as 1700. There is no archival evidence for an allegedly existing pharmacy owned by the Buchholz pharmacist in Biebrich as early as 1715. In 1741 the pharmacist Nutzmann applied to the Prince of Nassau-Usingen to be allowed to open a pharmacy in Biebrich. This application was rejected due to the exclusive privilege of the Wiesbaden pharmacy.
Biebrich became more and more the center of the court keeping of the princes of Nassau-Usingen. Prince Charles built Schloss Biebrich from the Summer Palace the Royal Palace and moved to 1769 the residence completely from Usingen to Biebrich. The prince was followed by his court as well as the court surgeon and pharmacist Bechstädt, who took his seat in Biebrich. After his death in 1768 he was followed by the company field clerk and court surgeon Christ, who also took on the role of pharmacist. After his death on July 11, 1772, his widow (a niece of Bechstädt) inherited the pharmacy. The operation was transferred to a provisional. This provisional was the new field shearer and court surgeon Joh. Balthasar Korb, who also married the widow Christ. Bach established the Duchy of Nassau and the end of the HRR , the privilege was renewed in 1806.
On January 19, 1810, Duke Friedrich August von Nassau-Usingen approved the transfer of the pharmacy to the son of Joh. Balthasar Korb, Gottfried Korb while his father was still alive. With the medical edict of 1818 , pharmacy was systematized in the Duchy of Nassau. There should be an official pharmacy in every office . In the Wiesbaden office , the existing pharmacies in Wiesbaden and Biebrich remained, the court pharmacy in Biebrich remained.
When Gottfried Korb died on January 13, 1823, he left behind his widow and several underage children. Franz Jakob Schreiner from Marktscheinfeld was hired as provisional . After he became a subject of Nassau, he married the widow Korb on October 28, 1824. As a result, Schreiner submitted a large number of applications to the government of the Duchy of Nassau to obtain a privilege to operate the pharmacy itself. In the interests of Korb's children, however, these applications were always rejected and Schreiner never became a pharmacist himself.
Schreiner moved the pharmacy to his newly built house, where the pharmacy is still located today (Mainstrasse 30). Now he claimed to the government that the rights of Korb's children had expired because nothing was left of the original pharmacy. But the guardianship authority remained tough.
After the death of the Schreiner couple, the pharmacy passed into the possession of the Korbs children. These sold the pharmacy to the pharmacist Lautz, who owned the pharmacy until at least 1866.
From 1876 to 1895 Anton Vigener (1840–1925) was court pharmacist. Anton Vigener became known as a biologist and helped build the natural history collections of the Wiesbaden Museum . Anton Vigener and his wife Anna Cause were the parents of Fritz Vigener (1879–1925), who became a historian and university professor.
