Sächsisches Apothekenmuseum Leipzig
The Sächsisches Apothekenmuseum Leipzig, located in the former Central-Apotheke beside St. Thomas Church, offers a fascinating journey through the history of pharmacy in Saxony. Opened in 1999, the museum presents rare documents, apothecary jars, instruments, and historical furnishings that illustrate how medicines were once prepared and dispensed. Visitors can explore the traditions of the pharmacist’s craft, from pill gilders and ergot mills to mortars, scales, and herbal remedies, gaining insight into centuries of medical practice. A special focus is placed on the origins of homeopathy, pioneered in Leipzig by Samuel Hahnemann, with exhibits highlighting his influence and the city’s role in the development of this field. The museum also preserves the complete interior of a typical DDR-era pharmacy, offering a vivid contrast between past and present. Interactive elements, such as the chance to press tablets under supervision, make the experience engaging for all ages. By combining scientific history with cultural heritage, the Sächsisches Apothekenmuseum reveals the enduring importance of pharmacy in everyday life.
