Abstract
The aim of this work is to present the destinies of pharmacies of the Hospitaller Order of St John of God (Brothers Hospitallers) in the Central European region. The history of this community started in the city of Granada, Spain, where its founder St John of God established a hospital and community of nursing brothers in 1537. The Order was introduced to Central Europe in the early 17th century, when Karl I, Prince of Liechtenstein invited them to his Lower-Austrian estate in Feldsberg (today’s Valtice, Czechia). This foundation became the basis of the working of the Brothers Hospitallers, especially on the territory of today’s Austria, Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Poland, etc. Through selected examples of pharmacies run by the Order within the former Hungarian and Austrian-Czech Order’s Provinces (status before the World War I) will be presented the typical pharmacy life stories influenced by the changes in state borders, organization of the provinces, political, social, economic, and cultural changes in the relevant country during the 20th century up to the present.
