Het object
The sugar industry has for centuries been important in Berlin. Andreas Sigismund Margraff (1709-82) discovered in the city how to extract sugar from beet in 1747, and research and training laboratories for the German sugar industry were established there by Carl Scheibler (1827-99) in 1867.
The museum originated as an initiative of the industry in 1904. It became a state museum of the former GDR in 1988, and, after reunification, a part of the Deutsches Technik Museum Berlin (DTMB) in 1995.
It is Europe’s principal museum of the sugar industry, and with 11 departments, has collections relating to every aspect of the manufacture and uses of sugar in its various forms. It includes a large-scale model of the first sugar beet factory established at Cunern in Silesia in 1801. There is an extensive collection of table wares relating to sugar, and a display of sugar crafts.
