history
The Pregizer'sche Apotheke , as it was previously called, is the oldest pharmacy in Pforzheim and was located on the market square until 1945 . Formerly also called the Lower Pharmacy , it was probably founded as a court pharmacy as early as 1538 under Margrave Ernst I of Baden-Durlach , who moved his residence to Pforzheim in 1535 .
As far as is known, the first owner was Johann Beyschlag from Bretten . In 1562 it was taken over by his son-in-law Michael Grieninger; his son and successor Michael Johannes Grieninger was the "pharmacist and councilor" who played a leading role in the Lutheran-Calvinist denominational dispute of the Pforzheimer in 1601. The successors of the Grieninger were Johann Barthold (from 1634), Christoph Wüstemann (from 1656), Johann Michael Salzer (from 1689).
In 1689 the lower pharmacy was burned down when the city was destroyed, it was rebuilt in 1697 and was owned by the Salzer family until 1804.
The following pharmacists were Christian Michael Salzer, Ernst Viktor Salzer, Johann Samuel Vulpius (1808), then Carl Ludwig and from 1855 Gustav Ferdinand Pregizer, after him his sons Gustav Albert Ludwig and Karl Ulrich Pregizer. In 1904 the “Pregizer'sche Apotheke” came into the possession of the pharmacist August Ostermayer (1904–1943). His son Hansjörg died in the war in 1941. Ursula Meixner took over management of the pharmacy from 1943 onwards. The pharmacy was destroyed by the air raid on Pforzheim on February 23, 1945 and continued as an emergency pharmacy in Brettener Strasse on November 15, 1945.
On April 1, 1949, it was set up again in a large new building on the property Westliche 39 (near Leopoldplatz), initially provisionally, and later finally in a large new building. The tenant was Ursula Meixner.
The Pregizer pharmacy has been owned by the pharmacist Stephanie Isensee since January 1st, 1994.
