Anton Grohs-Fligely was born in Transylvania in 1825. Anton Grohs had initially been initiated into the priesthood by his family, but after two years of study in the seminary he realized that this was not the life for him. He came to Vienna in 1847, where he began studying pharmacy at the university. So,after earning his living first working in a brewery and then in a tannery, he finally became a pharmacist working in several pharmacies in Vienna. Of a curious nature and animated by an innovative spirit, he invented and prepared gelatine preparations used for the production of capsules, tablets, sugared almonds and suppositories, becoming famous in his field so much so that, in 1870, he received the concession to manage a large pharmacy in Vienna, the Apoteke zur Austria in Wahringstrasse 18 and which still exists today.
