A pharmacy founded around 1600, which has been owned by the Fritsch-Richter family for over 100 years, has developed into an international healthcare services company (Richter Pharma AG), and the location at Stadtplatz 12 to 14 and Hafergasse 1 to 3 has become a 3,500 m2 inner-city center with a unique world of experience. You can find more information about the history of the pharmacy and the symbolism in the following text. Symbolism: The eagle is considered a symbol of heaven, the snake for the earth, the underworld or wisdom, among other things. The interplay of these symbols can be found in a wide variety of traditions and religions, from the Sumerians to the Maya and the Grail story. The Rod of Asclepius is a staff wrapped around a snake and is also known as a snake staff. Originally it was an attribute of Asclepius, the god of medicine in Greek mythology. Today it is the symbol of the medical and pharmaceutical profession. In Austria, pharmacists use the Aesculapius symbol and form the snake and staff into a large curved A. Can you spot the snake?
