Löwen-Apotheke, Historical pharmacy at Goetheplatz, Weimar, Germany
The Löwen-Apotheke occupies a prominent building at Goetheplatz 1, featuring a 1.2-meter serpentinite lion statue and distinct capital letters on its facade.
Duke Carl August granted Carl August Tietzmann the privilege to establish this second pharmacy of Weimar in 1799, leading to its foundation in 1801.
The pharmacy contains artistic works by Weimar sculptor Walter Sachs, including the lion statue installed in 1993 and the Dünner Jüngling statuette.
Customers can pre-order prescriptions through photographs or e-prescription cards, and receive multilingual support in Russian, English, and Norwegian.
Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche obtained medications at this pharmacy, while former owner Theodor Lüdde initiated the installation of dog drinking basins at downtown fountains.
