history

Pharmacy at Sonnenplatz

In 1720 the wine merchant Johann Michael Schaffner had the building erected at Sonnenplatz 4. The letters "IMS" on the lintel there initially indicated the pharmacist Johann Henrich Staub and his wife Maria, but at the time it was unusual to combine the first names of men and women in this way. Furthermore, the local dealer symbol refers to the wine dealer. It is assumed that the pharmacist would have had his pharmacist's mortar attached, as is the case with the Maria-Hilf-Kapelle.

In the 17th century, the Bischofsheimer Oberamtmann asked the Archbishop of Mainz whether it was economically viable to have two pharmacies in the small official town. In the reply from the Archbishop of Mainz, two pharmacies with the two pharmacists Nendwig and Engel in Bischofsheim are mentioned for the first time on February 25, 1658. In addition, it was advised to wait and see how the pharmacies develop and then decide whether two pharmacies are too many.

In 1671, the pharmacist Abel Nendwig had to take the Bischofsheim pharmacy oath, which is also required for later pharmacists, before the city council for the first time. This includes a number of regulations, such as obedience to the authorities, constant readiness for service or confidentiality, so with "to be faithful to God Almighty and his saints, to be kind and obedient, to promote Sambian benefits and to alleviate harm". Nendwig's successor, the pharmacist and councilor Johann Henrich Ludwig Staub, took over the pharmacy with a debt of 1,100 guilders . However, he and his wife Maria Elisabeth had the Maria-Hilf-Chapel built in the upper main street in 1700. They donated 200 guilders for seven holy masses in this chapel. The future owners of their house and their pharmacy on the market square obliged them to pay interest on the 200 gulden donated annually and to transfer the proceeds to the foundation.

In 1702 the Miltenberg pharmacist Johann Jost Gischeidt wanted to open a second pharmacy in Bischofsheim, whereupon Johann Henrich Ludwig Staub offered considerable resistance, so that after several years of dispute, no second pharmacy opened. Johann Henrich Ludwig Staub died on January 28, 1721; his tombstone is in the Maria-Hilf-Chapel. His son Franz Adam Staub (* 1695) took over his father's pharmacy. After 1727 he bought a barn in the upper suburb, which could possibly be the current building behind the Sonnenplatz pharmacy, as here, like on the chapel, a Maria-Hilf relief was attached.

The pharmacy was only moved to Sonnenplatz 4 in 1810 by Carl Augustin Hergt. The Empire-style office on display today dates from this period and is furnished with dark cherry wood furniture . From 1958 to 2012 the building also housed a health food store .
