History
The Jekelius House is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Brassó, one of the few houses in the town fortress that survived the fire of 1689 intact.
Dating from the 16th century, the house was built in the town centre on the site of a former Cistercian monastery. It was built in several phases, with Renaissance and Baroque elements. It was a modern and resistant building for its age and was not damaged by fires and earthquakes.
In 1848, the Saxon apothecary Ferdinand Jekelius founded the Zur Hoffnung (To Hope) pharmacy in a ground-floor shop, the seventh pharmacy to open in Brassó. It was known to the townspeople as the Goldfischapotheke, because until the early 20th century it had an aquarium at the entrance. In 1898, Ferdinand's son Emil Jekelius took over the pharmacy, and in 1922 Emil's son-in-law Erich Phleps took over. The pharmacy Zur Hoffnung was nationalised in April 1949 and then closed down.
