The Sonnenplatz-Apotheke, a historic building located at Sonnenplatz 4 in Tauberbischofsheim, Main-Tauber-Kreis, was in operation from 1810 to 2006. After its closure, it was converted into a pharmacy museum, which was managed until the death of its last owner, Henning Briegleb, in 2019.
Relocation and Interior of Sonnenplatz-Apotheke
The pharmacy was relocated to its current location at Sonnenplatz 4 in 1810 by Carl Augustin Hergt. The museum, which was open from 2006 to 2019, housed an Empire-style dispensary furnished with dark cherry wood, dating back to this period.
