HISTORY very first pieces of sugar

On a central square in the tiny Moravian village Dačice is a curious monument - shiny cube on a pedestal of gray granite. It is the world's only monument to the "white death" - a piece of refined sugar.

Dačice, which now resides less than 8 thousand people went down in history as a city that boasts of lump sugar.
Here is the story of the creation of the first pieces of sugar
   In the late 20-ies the 19 th century, the brothers Tomas and Frantisek Gröbner founded around Dačice small sugar plant. In this case, the brothers already had the experience gained while working in similar enterprises in France and Germany. But with business acumen have Grebner was obviously not all right.
In Dačice never had suitable conditions for growing sugar beet - the main feedstock for the production of sugar and brothers Gröbner very quickly realized that to grow beets here will not work. In 1829, they planted three hectares of its land, but in 1832 left this venture.
One of the brothers Grebner - Francis, in 1833, opened in the center Dačice Sugar Factory. Initially, it processed only imported cane sugar, and later - raw sugar from the Czech. The plant has created many new jobs for citizens and for visitors. In 1840, the factory director was appointed Jakub Krystof Rad.
Jakub Krystof Rad came to from Vienna, although he was originally from Switzerland. Undoubtedly, this was a very gifted man, he later became famous for a number of other inventions.
Under the leadership of new Director of affairs in the company went perfectly. Dačice sold its sugar not only in Bohemia and Moravia, but also in the Austrian borderland. It looked like sugar in the early 40-ies the century before last? What he put into shape?
Very impractical. Sugar-Boy sold huge chunks: they were the head or sugar crystals. Then these pieces had to poke that they can be used for other purposes. A chop was not so easy, especially women.
Wife Julian Rada also faced with this challenge, my dear wife of a Swiss once trembled at Kolka sugar hand.
Happened in the summer of 1841. Julian ran to her husband with a bandaged finger and shouted:
  - "Here, look at what it's like, I hurt!" Think of something that sugar is not needed to chop! "
Director, I am glad to think over what his wife said, and was born as a result of his invention - a machine for producing extruded in the form of sugar cubes.
After 2-3 months of Mrs. Juliana received from her husband's gift - a box with 350 pieces of sugar, white and red. They are without problems, it could be used in the economy.
The invention of Parliament was published in 1841, but mass production of lump lump sugar began only after many months.
He applied for a patent and license the production of lump sugar. I have received and that, and another winter of 1843.
Only after this I'm glad was able to start production experiments. In autumn 1843 the first lump sugar appeared in the sale.
In Vienna dachitsky sugar sold under the name "tea", in packages of 250 pieces.
It looked like a piece of sugar in those days?
Then the sugar cubes were made of two kinds. One cube has edge in size and a half centimeters, the second - to 3 millimeters smaller. Small cubes looked more like a modern pressed sugar, though, in truth, the modern sugar has, rather, the shape of the bar, rather than the cube.
Powdered sugar filled square holes in the brass board, which then is fitted on a brass plaque. Under a special press powder compressed to half its original volume. Finished pieces were dried 12 hours, and then they started to pack. Production of sugar in Dačice ceased in 1852. It was found that the conditions for the cultivation of sugar beet are useless, and to bring materials from far away it was too expensive. Even the line for production of lump sugar could not save the factory from bankruptcy. Jakub Rad admitted his defeat and returned to Vienna. The invention of Parliament is so deeply embedded in our lives that they no longer believe that his lump sugar soon forgotten. Nevertheless, it is.
