Previous | Home | Next"Laboratory of the Royal Apothecary of Berlin, around the middle of the 18th century." Contemporary ink drawing. Marggraf, who preceded Klaproth at the Apotheke zum Bären, trained here. The administrator of the Hofapotheke was Caspar Neumann who in his report of 1732 recounted "5-6 journeymen, 8-9 apprentices, one herbalist, and five grinding men, as well as many women." The products of the apothecary were dispensed to "the court, civil servants, clergymen, army, hospitals, and orphanages" -- about 20,000 people. This was a larger scale than the other apothecaries in Berlin. Hohenzollernjahrbuch 1898.
