Farmacéuticos en la historia de la cultura alemana

Thispaper offers an overview on famous pharmacists who became well-known as poets or novelists, performing artists or musicians. In the 18th and 19th centuries, we find pharmacists as writers of natural-scientific works, but also of poetry and literature, such as Johann BartholomausTrommsdorff(1770–1837),who also wrote fairy tales. Other pharmacists published autobiographies and travelogues. Among the poets coming from a pharmacist background is Ludwig Bechstein(1801–1860),who set his mark on literature history by writing fairy tales, poems, historical novels and travelogues.
