That may be true in rural areas, but not in cities. There is even a decree that the city of Vienna may not have more than 10 pharmacies.
The year 1241 can be considered the birth year of the pharmacy profession in Europe. The Staufer Emperor Frederick II (1194–1250) issued a medical ordinance that prescribed a separation between the professions of doctor and pharmacist. Among other things, this ordinance stipulated that pharmacists were obliged to work in accordance with medical or recognised regulations and that they had to recognise the prices of medicines and the restriction on the establishment of pharmacies to certain locations subject to state approval. Pharmacists were sworn in before the authorities to comply with the provisions. The ‘Constitutiones’ of Frederick II.
