Quedlinburg - Adler und Rats Apotheke
18 Jun 2023 |

Quedlinburg is known to have existed since at least the early 9th century. It was first mentioned as a town in 922 as part of a donation by Heinrich I (Henry the Fowler).
According to legend, Henry had been offered the German crown at Quedlinburg in 919. After his death in 936, his widow Saint Matilda founded a nunnery, where daughters of the higher nobility were educated. The main task of this abbey, was to pray for the memory of Heinrich I and the rulers who came after him.
The Quedlinburg castle complex, founded by Heinrich I and built up by Otto I in 936, was an imperial Pfalz of the Saxon emperors. The Pfalz, including the male convent, was in the valley, while the women's convent was located on the castle hill.
In 973 during a Reichstag (Imperial Convention) Otto the Great introduced his new daughter-in-law Theophanu, a Byzantine princess whose marriage to Otto II brought hope for recognition and continued peace between the rulers of the Eastern and Western empires.
The town became a member of the Hanseatic League in 1426. The abbey frequently disputed the independence of the town, which sought the aid of the Bishopric of Halberstadt. In 1477, Abbess Hedwig, aided by her brothers, broke the resistance of the town and expelled the bishop's forces. Quedlinburg was forced to leave the Hanseatic League and was subsequently protected by the Electorate of Saxony. Both town and abbey converted to Lutheranism in 1539 during the Protestant Reformation.
Adler und Rats Apotheke founded in 1578.
Wroclaw - Rynek

The history of Wroclaw dates back more than a thousand years. At various times, it has been part of the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Habsburg monarchy of Austria, the Kingdom of Prussia, and Germany. Wrocław became part of Poland again in 1945 as part of the result of extensive border changes and expulsions after WWII.
In 990 Mieszko I of Poland conquered Silesia and Wrocław. The town became a commercial center. In the 12th century Polish, Bohemian, Jewish, Walloon, and German communities existed here.
Wroclaw was devastated in 1241 during the first Mongol invasion of Poland. In the 13th century due to migration from Saxony and Bavaria, Wroclaw got germanised. The population adopted the German language and culture and the name changed to Breslau.
Between 1342 and 1344 two fires destroyed large parts of the city, which was a part of the Bohemian Kingdom at that time. Charles IV`s , successors Wenceslaus and Sigismund became involved in a long-lasting feud with the city and its magistrate, culminating in the revolt in 1418 when local craftsmen killed seven councilors.
After the city had defeated the Bohemian Hussites the city was besieged by a combined Polish-Czech force in 1474, however, a ceasefire was signed, according to which the city remained under Hungarian rule.
The Reformation reached Breslau already in 1518, and in 1523 the town council unanimously appointed a new pastor and thus introduced the Reformation in Breslau.
In 1526, the Habsburg monarchy of Austria inherited Bohemia, Silesia, and the city of Breslau. In 1609 German emperor Rudolf II granted the free exercise of church services to all Bohemian and Silesian Protestants. In the following Thirty Years' War, the city suffered badly. It was occupied by Saxon and Swedish troops and lost 18,000 of its 40,000 residents to the plague.
The Counter-Reformation had started with Rudolf II who encouraged Catholic orders to settle in Breslau. The dominance of the German population under the Habsburg rule in the city became more visible, while the Polish population diminished in numbers.
After Frederick the Great besieged the city for a year, it surrendered in 1741. In 1742, Queen Maria Theresa handed over Silesia to the Prussian king.

The Rynek (the Ring) is a medieval market square. It has the shape of a rectangle with the dimensions 205 m x 175 m. In the center is the Old Town Hall.
In the 14th century, the first two-story patrician houses with pointed roofs were built. In the middle of the 14th century, these already formed a closed perimeter. Gradually, larger and larger residential and commercial buildings were built. After the great fire of 1363, the first Gothic houses were built. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the fronts were remodeled in the Renaissance style. During WWII most 60% of the buildings were damaged. Only 17 houses were largely preserved. After the war, the restoration of the partially preserved buildings began immediately.
Satrup - Königlich Privilegierte Apotheke
06 Jul 2021 |
|
There are two pharmacies in Satrup, but the "Königlich Privilegierte Apotheke" is the olderone. It is actually the oldest pharmacy in rural Angeln.
King Frederick VI of Denmark granted the pharmacist Jacob Friedrich Vasmer the privilege of establishing a pharmacy in Satrup on March 22, 1836.
The privilege to operate a pharmacy was only endorsed by the government and granted by the king if the appropriate conditions were met, i.e. the necessary supply of the population with medicines was not guaranteed elsewhere and the expected economic return ensured a future existence in the long term.
The pharmacy is still in existence!
