Description and history

The current building on the site is dated around 1900. However, it was first mentioned in a document as early as 1708. From 1819 the pharmacy, which was privileged by the royal Prussians and existed as a city pharmacy until 1993, has since been located as a city ​​pharmacy in a then newly constructed building complex on Poststrasse. Most recently, the business premises were used by a tattoo studio .

It is recorded in the local monument register under registration number 09135375.

The building is now privately owned.
