A Journey Through 500 Years of Pharmacy History
At the Museum Old Court Pharmacy in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, a public tour takes you through half a millennium of local pharmacy history. At the historic site of the former court and city pharmacy, visitors encounter the medical, cultural, and architectural history of an old ducal city between Old Bavaria and Franconia.
History You Can Touch
Authentically preserved rooms and historical pharmacy utensils make the transformation of the pharmacist profession directly tangible. The exhibition shows how medicines were produced, stored, and dispensed in earlier times and connects the everyday life of pharmacy with the development of the city of Sulzbach.
The Old Court Pharmacy in the Historic City Center
The museum is located at Luitpoldplatz between the Residenzschloss and the town hall. The court pharmacy dates back to around 1500, changed locations several times throughout its history, and was closed at the end of 1992. The great city fire of 1822 also marked the history of the building and the local urban development.
Insights into Medicine, Culture, and Architectural History
The tour connects local history with cultural historical contexts. Visitors discover historical vessels, work tools, and the atmosphere of a traditional pharmacy. A small medicinal plant garden in the backyard complements the museum presentation and creates a peaceful contrast to the winding interior spaces.
