Life
Johann Michael Schiller was born as the son of master bricklayer Johann Wilhelm Schiller and his wife Anna Magdalena Schiller née Heinrich in Windsheim on May 27, 1763. He describes his apprenticeship and traveling years from 1775 to 1782 in detail in 1791 in "Geschichte einer Apotheker". On October 1, 1785 he married Charlotte Barbara Ebnes.
In 1790 he published pharmaceutical articles in Nuremberg.
Johann Michael Schiller “has published numerous chemical and pharmaceutical treatises. Of these, a study reported in Göttling's paperback 1791 is to be emphasized, in which S. was one of the first to describe the peculiar light phenomenon which appears during the crystallization of sulphate of potash. "
On January 9, 1809, Johann Michael Schiller became a pharmacist at the Löwenapotheke in Rothenburg ob der Tauber .
In 1812 he acquired Hanselmann's department store no.74 on the Rothenburg ob der Tauber market and set up a pharmacy here, which he named Marienapotheke because of the image of the Virgin Mary under the bay window.
In 1821 Johann Michael Schiller wrote: "How pharmacists' books should be written in an appropriate condition".
In 1823 he founded his own pharmaceutical training institute in Rothenburg ob der Tauber . His "Pharmaceutical Elementary Institute" was denied state recognition. "Schiller may have been denied this because his institute was primarily intended for beginners, i.e. apprentices in pharmacists who were supposed to learn the basics of pharmacy in a three-year course."
He died on April 20, 1825.
