The Stern-Apotheke in Münster is one of the oldest pharmacies in the city.

history

The pharmacy, founded on February 1, 1658, was originally owned by the city. The first pharmacist was called Johann Sundermann. The house in which the pharmacy was located was on the corner between Ludgeristraße and the promenade , where the rifle house of the old society of the great riflemen was once located. This company was founded in 1557 and moved its quarters to Schützenstrasse in 1787. The Stern-Apotheke, on the other hand, stayed in place.

In air raids on Münster in the Second World War the house was destroyed; the then tenant Hermann Brüning found the remains of the medication in the neighborhood and later in the station bunker. In 1951 he succeeded in acquiring the rubble property, where he then rebuilt the pharmacy with the architect Heinrich Bartmann . The house built at that time is now a listed building . In 1968 Hermann Brüning's son Helmut took over the pharmacy, in 2004 it passed into the hands of Cajus Brüning.
