In the village of Konary there is a monument honoring the German (Prussian) chemist, physicist and biologist - Franz Karl Achard who discovered the means of production of sugar from sugar beets (among other things) ending the status of sugar as a luxury product and making it rapidly available for everyone.
The English merchants offered him 200,000 talers to declare his experiments a failure but he refused and, with the help of King Friedrich Wilhelm II, opened the first sugar beet refinery in Konary in 1801. (favorite artists: The Archies)
