history

1517 to 1864 - Forchthammer-Eck on the Kohlenmarkt

Kohlmarkt 6 in Regensburg, from approx. 1517 pharmacy on the market, later called Mohrenapotheke, until the move in 1864 (2013)

The pharmacy is said to go back to a secret pharmacy of the master Andre (Anderl) from 1440. The Mohren pharmacy was one of the five imperial city pharmacies in Regensburg, along with the angel, lion, eagle and elephant pharmacy. The first evidence of a “pharmacy on the market” can be found as early as 1513. However, the history of the pharmacy can only be reconstructed almost completely from archival documents from 1517 onwards. Around 1517 the "pharmacy on the market" on the former Forchthammer-Eck on the coal market was named as the second city pharmacy. The owner between 1547 and 1564 is unknown.

Then Mattis Erndl bought the pharmacy on February 25, 1569. After his death in 1587 he left the "corner house on the market, adjoining the houses of Hannsen Pückerd, Hannsen Sellmeier and Riemer Gerd". his daughter Maria Erndl († 1617 in Wiefelsdorf near Schwandorf ). In a letter on the pharmacists' ordinance issued in 1572, Mattis Erndl also commented on the prohibition on the sale of "birth-selling" drugs. He pointed out that every Christian knows how to behave on this issue, and indicated that such things are rarely asked of him. The ban on abortion should also be carried out through the control of pharmacists.

In 1596 Heinrich I. Erndel took over his father's pharmacy. On October 30, 1595, he bought his three sisters' shares in the property "Haus am Markt between H. Helmer and the Riemer Gerd" for 1100 guilders. On September 18, 1609, he sold the pharmacy and a garden. Heinrich Erndl was called “Citizen here and Kais. Your Majesty Personal Pharmacist in Prague ”. He was appointed personal pharmacist of Rudolf II. Kaiser of the HRR and received a nobility diploma in 1617 during the reign of Matthias Kaiser of the HRR . In 1623 he died in Wolfenbüttel.

In 1609 Polycarp Müller ran the pharmacy until his death, his wife took over the management of the house in 1629. The new pharmacist was Johann Kolb and ran the business until 1634. After that, it passed to Johann Lorenz Mann.

In 1649, the pharmacy was first referred to in a town register as the “Apotheke zum Schwarzen Mohren”. As from the will of his wife Walburga, born on December 16, 1652, Kolb reveals that she had reserved the right to sell the house and the pharmacy to him for 1,800 guilders in the marriage letter. In deduction of his “love and loyalty” and since he took good care of her children from his first and second marriage, she waived him 800 gulden of this sum. Thus, the property for the amount of 1000 guilders became the property of Mann. After his death he passed it on to his children from a second marriage. The mother bought the property in 1664 for 1500 guilders from Johann Lorenz Mann's children, who were not yet grown up when he died.

In 1664 the widow handed over the management of the pharmacy to her new husband Johann Georg Leipold senior on August 16, 1664. He ran the pharmacy for about 20 years, until 1684, when his stepson, Johann Paul Mann, was ready to take over. In 1686 the Leipold couple sold the pharmacy for 1,800 guilders.

In 1687 Johann Paul Mann junior was entered in the pharmacist's register. When he died in 1693 at the age of 38, he left the pharmacy to his wife Maria Christina, who ran it for another year.

In 1712 Johann Wilhelm Weinmann and his wife acquired the building for 1,800 florins from Philipp Christoph Schorer (incorrectly named Philipp Christian Schörer in later sources), whose house with the associated “former totalitarian ruined… offizin” pharmacy “Zum schwarzen Mohren”. During the plague epidemic in 1713, the pharmacy was used as a hospital pharmacy.

Heinrich Theodor Heßling and Christoph Nicolaus Heßling took over the pharmacy in 1742 and 1780, respectively.

The Mohren pharmacy was the only one of the imperial city pharmacies to be relocated. In 1864 the Offizin moved from the coal market to the grain market . The house in the Pfluggasse / corner of the Alter Kornmarkt stands on foundations from the Carolingian era, just like the Carmelite Church of St. Joseph. The cellars of the monastery and pharmacy are connected by a corridor.

1903 Ludwig Fischer acquired the house in 1903 and converted it into Art Deco in 1920.

Gerhard Brunn was the last owner after three generations. About six months after his death, it was no longer possible for economic reasons to continue running the pharmacy here. The ebony carved Mohr on the apothecary cabinet and selected old apothecary equipment are to be kept in the new Museum of Bavarian History from 2018.
