Our Story

Have you ever wondered why Zweihorn Pharmacy is called Zweihorn Pharmacy? What matters to us and what makes us who we are? If so, you’ll find the answers here. 

2 “Horns” – 1 Vision

Our vision was to be where people are: where they live, where they shop, and close to their doctors, with ample parking.

As a team, we work with enthusiasm and a high level of professional expertise. We are committed to continually expanding our knowledge and keeping up with the latest developments so that we can support our customers individually and holistically.

Our stock is tailored as closely as possible to our customers’ needs, and our premises are much more than just a “sales floor”. 

Our pharmacy is a place where our customers feel comfortable and well cared for, and where we enjoy working.

Why Zweihorn?

Quite simply:
On the one hand, our surname is Horn, and the two of us run the pharmacy. On the other hand, we took inspiration from an old pharmacy tradition when choosing the name.

The unicorn is deeply intertwined with the pharmacy profession.

Unicorn powder, known as “Unicornu verum”, was considered for centuries a universal and effective remedy against a wide range of poisons, the plague and fever—and, of course, it was also supposed to boost male potency ;-).

Trading in “unicorn powder” was a lucrative business for many pharmacies. That is why some pharmacies were also named after the mythical creature.

But who still believes in unicorns these days?

… let’s leave that question open, because faith is said to move mountains.

But your health here is based not on magic, but on our knowledge and experience, resting on two pillars: prevention and healing.

Health is our most precious asset, yet we only pay attention to it when it is gone. We want to change that by primarily helping our customers stay healthy for as long as possible.

And if they do get sick, we help them in a variety of ways:

Just as an illness is usually caused by several factors, it often takes different approaches to heal it. From conventional medicine to orthomolecular therapy, homeopathy, aromatherapy, phytotherapy and much more.

And for all these different approaches, we have experts who provide individual support with great empathy.
