Wir konnen uns kaum vorstellen, dass ein so wichtiges Volksnahrungsmittel wie die Kartoffel (an der Kuste von Peru heimisch) seit ihrem ersten Auftauchen in Europa noch uber zwei Jahrh brauchte, ehe sie allgemeine Verbreitung fand. In der Mark pflanzte und erntete Luise Henriette, Gemahlin des Grossen Kurfursten, die ersten Kartoffeln auf ihrem Gut Botzow. Translation: Potato Introduction. We can hardly imagine that such an important staple food as the potato (native to the coast of Peru) needed more than two centuries from its first appearance in Europe before it became widespread.
