History
Documents mention a pharmacy on this site as early as 1512. The house burnt down in the fire of 1689. According to a contemporary account, fire spread to the Black Church from this building, and the town council did not allow the rebuilt house to have windows overlooking the churchyard for nearly a century. According to other witnesses, the Black Church was set on fire from the inside by the Habsburgs, who had caused the fire in revenge.
In 1741, the chronicler Thomas Tartler refers to the building as wüssten Apotheke, or known pharmacy. According to a record from 1781, Andreas Cziegler, a bürgerliche Kaufmann (merchant-citizen), the owner of the building at the time, asked the town council for permission to rebuild and extend the building. Around 1826 it became the property of the Romanian wholesaler Radu Orghidan, who had it rebuilt again.
In 1850 it was bought by the Brassó General Savings Bank. Around 1875 the Saxon Lutheran parish moved here. Around 1890, the Zum edlen Ritter (To the noble knight) restaurant was opened here. In 1948, the building was nationalised, and after the change of regime in 1989, it was returned to the Lutheran Church.
