A Journey Through 500 Years of Pharmacy History
On Friday, September 3, 2027, the Old Court Pharmacy Museum in Sulzbach-Rosenberg will open its historic rooms for a public tour. Starting at 5:00 PM, the discovery tour will explore the history of the court and city pharmacies in Sulzbach – embedded in the medical, cultural, and architectural history of the old ducal city between Old Bavaria and Franconia.
Pharmacy History at an Authentic Location
The museum is located at the original site of the former pharmacy at Luitpoldplatz. In twelve winding rooms, visitors encounter historical vessels, pharmaceutical devices, recipes, manuscripts, and a materials room. The exhibition visibly showcases how medicines were produced, stored, and dispensed in the past.
Tangible Local History
The tour connects pharmacy history with the turbulent developments of the town of Sulzbach-Rosenberg. A special chapter is the town fire of 1822, which also influenced the pharmacy. Original rooms, architectural traces, and historical objects provide a vivid picture of the everyday life of past generations.
Between Marketplace, Residence Palace, and Herb Garden
The museum is located at the Sulzbacher Marketplace between the Residence Palace and the town hall. The discovery experience also includes the small medicinal herb garden in the backyard, which makes the connection between nature, medical knowledge, and the craft of pharmacy history tangible. The exhibition thus provides insights into an important piece of cultural heritage from the Upper Palatinate.
