The year is 1801 and Petronella Gempt, née Prümers, is the widow of the well-respected and highly esteemed court apothecary Conrad Gempt. Every day she goes on her errand through her home town of Burgsteinfurt. Today you accompany her and learn a lot about the diseases and remedies of her time. She also tells you about her home, the "Apotheke zum Elephanten", and how it got its name.

Of course, she won't leave you without the special apothecary's potion against all kinds of infectious diseases, mischievous people and nosy neighbors.
