One family.
Four generations.
One place.

Anklin Apotheke has been part of Cham since 1919, and at Poststrasse 3 since 1923. Everything else has changed since then, repeatedly and on purpose.

What has changed in a good hundred years, and what has stayed.

Joseph Alphons Anklin took over the business in the Haus Merkur on Rabenplatz. The first customer paid Fr. 1.35 for a preparation on 12 September.

A storage robot now fetches what someone used to look for in the cellar. On top of that the pick-up terminal around the clock and two rooms where you can close the door.

There has always been an own brand here.

Following his grandfather's recipes, Rolf Anklin mixed a skin cream and filled it into 50 gram tins, for hands worn out by winter. Our own brand today is the same principle by other means: care from the pharmacy, without the cost of the advertising behind it.

Advice from trained specialists.

Schuessler further training

Schuessler salts according to Dr Schuessler, advised on with completed training rather than recommended off the shelf.

Bach flower consultation

With the recognised training of the Bach Centre as a Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner (BFRP). The personal mixture comes out of the conversation, not off a list.

Quality & trust

What you can rely on.

One locationThe same address since 1923

No chain of branches, no head office making the decisions. Poststrasse 3 has been the only location since 1923, and the people behind it stay.

DocumentedEvery blistered dose checked

The blister packing area works to documented standards: every batch checked, every step logged, every change traceable.

No commissionEven when there is nothing to sell

Nobody here gets anything for recommending a particular preparation. That is why you will also hear us say that you should keep your money.
