What if someone fell ill around 1500? Even back then, it was mostly women who took care of the sick. Every wife had a medicine chest with prescriptions for proven remedies, which were passed on from mothers to daughters - just like the kitchen utensils. Trained doctors left the practical part of treating the sick to the wound doctors and bathers. Like the executioner, they had the better knowledge of anatomy for a long time. Until the 18th century, childbirth and the puerperium were a matter for women.
In the 16th century, many noblewomen valued their work with medicinal plants and herbs. In the tradition of her mother, Electress Katharina von Brandenburg (d. 1602) founded a pharmacy in Berlin Palace, which supplied the poor with medicines free of charge.
The tour leads through the palace garden and selected areas of the exhibition in the palace. Individual medicinal herbs are presented on site in the garden. At the end of the tour, visitors can sample selected herbs in the old kitchen and make their own herbal tea.
