Burghausen city pharmacy

History of the pharmacy

A law in 1224, passed by Emperor Frederick II , initiated the separation of medicine and drug preparation. As a result, the first pharmacies arose, including in the residential cities of the Lower Bavarian dukes , namely a court pharmacy in Landshut around 1350 and the pharmacy in Burghausen between 1485 and 1500. Accounts from the city pharmacists have been preserved since 1500. The city pharmacy was originally located in the pits . In 1595, the pharmacist Christoph Stierl moved into the building at Stadtplatz 40, which has been a pharmacy without interruption ever since.

building

The core of the building of the city pharmacy dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. It is a three-storey gable roof house with a curved, profiled gable and three upper floor axes. In the cellar there is a Gothic ribbed vault , which probably dates back to the 14th century. A groin vault spans the sales area . In a rear room there is a simple barrel vault , probably from the 16th century. The rococo stucco facade was created by the city mason Johann Konrad Schaffner in the second half of the 18th century. The gable and part of the stucco suffered bomb damage in 1945 and were restored to their old forms in the following years. Two stucco reliefs in the sales room depicting St. Anthony of Padua and St. Franz von Borja come from a traveling Italian plasterer. On the garden wall of the house there is a grave slab for Friedrich Möringer († 1475) by Franz Sickinger .
