moved in with about 1300 students. The school was founded with the support of the Gesellschaft für das Gute und Gemeinnützige (GGG). The school was deemed more appropriate for some citizens in Basel, who deemed the one from the state as too intellectual and less practical. In the one from the GGG, the women were again prepared more for leading the household. The focus was more on cooking, sewing, healthcare and gardening. But also for the school for women education the building became too small in the year 1916, when it moved with 1800 students to a new building at the Kohlenberggasse. University of Basel In 1917, the University of Basel purchased the building and established a pharmacological institute. Its first professor was Karl Heinrich Zörnig. Since 1924, the Pharmacy Museum of the University of Basel is located in the building. In 1925 Josef Anton Häfliger donated his personal pharmacological collection to the university and became a part of the Pharmacy Museum. In 1938 and 1952 Tadeusz Reichstein was the director of the pharmacological institute. In Basel, Reichstein isolated the Cortisone, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1950. In 1999, the pharmacological institute moved to the Klingelbergstrasse, but the museum stayed. References Buildings and structures in Basel
