Abstract
“The Black Eagle” pharmacy in Karlovac was founded in 1726 as the sixth military pharmacy in Croatia, and it has been continuously operating until today. In this work, relying on available literature, archival sources, and information from contemporary publications, the complete reconstruction of the historical continuity and ownership sequence of the oldest pharmacy in Karlovac is presented for the first time. All pharmacists who have made their mark in the operation of the pharmacy are listed, and biographies of those pharmacists who had a special significance in Karlovac’s pharmacy and social life of that time are highlighted. New and original insights are presented, and incorrect data that have been circulating in the literature are corrected. Historical research on “The Black Eagle” pharmacy is valuable not only in the context of preserving Croatian pharmaceutical heritage but also as a space of exceptional historical and cultural significance.
