Dr phil. Hans Jürgen Teuteberg was Professor of Contemporary Economic and Social History and Director of the History Department at the University of Münster. In 1747, the Berlin-born chemist Andreas Sigismund Marggraf discovered that sugar from three types of beet is chemically identical to sugar from sugar cane. His pupil Franz Carl Achard continued this research and established the first sugar beet factory in Silesia in 1802. However, it would be decades before sugar production using sugar beet would catch on. Three questions for Professor Teuteberg on the history of sugar. In 1838, a sugar factory was opened in Klein Wanzleben. How did the sugar industry develop during the following decades? “Between 1840 and 1870, when the German Empire was founded, the number of German sugar beet factories increased more than fivefold, from 54 to 304. At the same time, the amount of beet processed rose from 26,080 tonnes to three million tonnes. At the end of the 1850s, beet sugar production had already reached such a level that it exceeded domestic demand and began to be exported.” What helped to drive this development? “In addition to the fiscal environment, successful sugar beet breeding and advancing industrialisation were driving forces. In the middle of the 19th century, the Frenchman Louis de Vilmorin discovered that the sugar content of beets can be increased by means of systematic breeding. At the same time, it was possible to significantly cut production costs in the sugar factories by using steampowered machines and conveyor belts.” What did this mean for sugar consumption? “Until the middle of the 19th century, most people didn’t consume sugar because they simply could not afford to pay the high prices. Sugar is a typical product of industrialisation and, together with the potato, represents the biggest change in our eating habits since the late Middle Ages.” Akzente July 2013 5
