Hagenmarktapotheke, Pharmacy building in Hagen, Brunswick, Germany

The Hagenmarktapotheke is a pharmacy on the north side of Hagenmarkt at the corner of Wendenstraße in Brunswick. The original building, erected in the 13th century with stone from the nearby Nußberg and remodelled around 1590, was destroyed in the Second World War and demolished around 1949. Since August 1951 a modern new building has housed the pharmacy on the same site.

This building became a pharmacy in 1677 and has served that function continuously at Hagenmarkt ever since. Its long operation makes it one of Brunswick's oldest pharmacies.

The pharmacy's name comes from its location on Hagenmarkt in the Hagen district, one of Brunswick's medieval quarters. The baroque portal by Wolter Hasemann, carved from Elmkalkstein with two seating niches and the Hagen coat of arms, was rescued in 1949/50 and set into the north facade of the Gewandhaus at Altstadtmarkt, where visitors can still see it.

The entrance is at Hagenmarkt street and stands out easily since the timber-framed facade is distinctive. Visitors should keep in mind this is an active pharmacy, so coming outside busy hours makes for a better experience.

The baroque portal carved by Wolter Hasemann from Elmkalkstein, with two seating niches and the Hagen coat of arms showing the Brunswick lion with Catherine's wheel, was rescued before the 1949 demolition and rebuilt into the north facade of the Gewandhaus at Altstadtmarkt, where it stands today.
