Melchior Balluff
Melchior Balluff (born January 11, 1779 in Neuhausen auf den Fildern , † August 19, 1862 in Riedlingen ) was a German pharmacist and local politician.
Life
Balluff did his training in Rottenburg am Neckar (1794-1797) and completed his assistantship in Geislingen an der Steige , Ulm , Heidenheim and Augsburg . After he had passed his commission exam, he took over the branch pharmacy in Orb as a provisional agent. There he had little success and handed over the management of the pharmacy to L. Koch.
He then worked for two years in Stuttgart as an assistant (1807–1809) and, after his pharmacy exam in 1809, took over the Kleber's pharmacy in Riedlingen in Stuttgart. He handed this over to his son Wilhelm in 1845. His son Paul was a pharmacist in New York City .
Melchior Balluff and two other pharmacists founded the "Society of Corresponding Pharmacists" in Augsburg in 1804 and became its first president. One of the goals of this association was to “maintain and expand pharmacy in its theoretical foundations”.
From 1827 Balluff was active in the city council in Riedlingen.
