Apotheke Oranienbaum, denkmalgeschützte ehemalige Apotheke in Oranienbaum-Wörlitz in Sachsen-Anhalt
Apotheke Oranienbaum is a pharmacy in Oranienbaum-Worlitz that serves as a heritage monument and features a simple, charming architectural style. The building displays the characteristic design of a local pharmacy from earlier decades and sits conveniently within the town center.
The pharmacy was founded in 1828 by Gottfried Christian Krause with permission from Princess Henriette Katharina of Oranien. Over the following century it changed hands several times, was nationalized in 1955, and returned to private ownership in 1990.
The pharmacy's name honors Johannes Gutenberg, who invented the printing press with movable metal letters around 1400. This naming choice connects the local pharmacy to a major cultural milestone in European history.
The pharmacy sits centrally in Oranienbaum-Worlitz and is easy to reach on foot or by car, with parking available nearby. The building is accessible with a clear entrance, making it simple for visitors to find and enter.
The building underwent major renovation in 1987 while preserving its historical character and reopened in 1988 with modernized systems. This restoration shows how heritage structures can adapt to contemporary needs without losing their authentic character.
