The Sugar Museum in Berlin, devoted to the history and technology of sugar, is the oldest such museum in the world, having opened in 1904. It is now part of the German Museum of Technology. Until November 2012, it was housed in the ''Institut für Lebensmitteltechnologie'' (Institute of Food Technology) in Wedding, Mitte. Exhibits were labelled in German only, although an English-language pamphlet describing them was also available.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/berlin/sights/museum?page=2 )〕 Lonely Planet called the Sugar Museum "quirky... a surprisingly entertaining exhibit where you’ll learn all about the origin of sugar and its chemistry."〔 Since November 2012, the Sugar Museum has been closed, but a modernised exhibit is scheduled to open at the German Museum of Technology in Kreuzberg in November 2015.〔("The Sugar Museum is relocating!" ), German Museum of Technology, retrieved 17 November 2014.〕 ==History== Berlin played an important role in the history of sugar production. Andreas Sigismund Marggraf discovered beet sugar there in 1747, and his student Franz Carl Achard was the first to produce it, beginning in 1783, in Kaulsdorf, which became part of Greater Berlin in 1920.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.sdtb.de/History.1278.0.html )〕〔(Festveranstaltung zum 100jährigen Bestehen des Berliner Institut für Zuckerindustrie ), Technical University of Berlin 23 November 2004, at Wayback Machine 〕 In 1799 he presented the product to King Frederick William III of Prussia, who sponsored him in establishing in 1801 the first beet sugar production facility in the world in Cunern, in Silesia (now Konary, Wołów County, Poland).〔〔Celebrated in a 50-day exhibition at the museum in 1981: ( "Preußen und Rüben" ), ''Der Spiegel'' 28 September 1981 〕 In 1867 a sugar research laboratory was established in Berlin under Carl Scheibler. On 8 May 1904, the Institute for Sugar Industry which had developed out of this opened, and the Sugar Museum simultaneously opened on the upper floor of the building, as the first such institution in the world.〔〔''Sugar Journal'' 63 (2000) (p. 6 ).〕 Edmund Oskar von Lippmann is largely credited for the opening of the museum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Main page )〕 In 1945, the museum became the property of Berlin, and in 1978 of the Technical University of Berlin.〔 In 1988, it became a state museum of the former GDR〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.erih.net/nc/countries/detail.html?user_erihobjects_pi2%5Bmode%5D=1&user_erihobjects_pi2%5Bpointer%5D=0&user_erihobjects_pi2%5BshowUid%5D=17729&user_erihobjects_pi2%5Bregionalroute%5D=0&user_erihobjects_pi2%5BanchorOnly%5D=0&user_erihobjects_pi2%5BmembersOnly%5D=0 )〕 and, after a year of renovations, reopened on 22 September 1989. Since 1 November 1995, it has been a branch museum of the German Museum of Technology.〔 The museum remained in its original building in the sugar industry neighbourhood of Wedding until November 2012.〔Tom Wolf, ("Süße Geschichte" ), ''Die Tageszeitung'' 28 February 2005 〕〔 The Sugar Museum had 450 square metres of floor space devoted to the history and technology of sugar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visitberlin.de/en/spot/zucker-museum-sugar-museum )〕 About 20,000 people visited it every year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.goethe.de/ges/mol/tre/ess/en1344441.htm )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sugar Museum (Berlin)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
