02:00the awakening life in nature.
02:02But outside, on the land,
02:04spring soon has a more serious face.
02:06Already now the first harvest begins.
02:09The asparagus must be pruned.
02:11This is not a small task,
02:13and all hands are needed outside every day
02:15to bring in the ripe asparagus.
02:19One would almost think that only our time
02:21had come after the taste of asparagus.
02:24A part of the harvest comes to the tin factory
02:26to be preserved for the winter needs.
02:29The other part is cleaned, sorted and packaged
02:31for the transport to the cities.
02:33This transport is a serious problem,
02:36because the main thing about asparagus is,
02:38as we all know, that it comes fresh to our kitchen.
02:42This transport problem solves the Reichsbahn.
02:45For the large asparagus areas of the Brandenburg market,
02:48which are not directly on the railway network,
02:50the railway has set up a power car traffic,
02:53which directs the transmissions
02:55to the central market hall of the capital.
02:59Music
03:13The demand of a big city for fruit and fresh vegetables
03:16is quite enormous.
03:18The Berlin central market hall
03:20drives 60 to 70 freight wagons every day
03:23with about 6,000 trucks for this demand.
03:29Asparagus grow in all parts of Germany.
03:33These are fields in the plains,
03:35with calves on the sale.
03:38But also in mountainous areas,
03:40the asparagus thrives.
03:42Here you can see the asparagus harvest in Bühl,
03:44in the Badischer Schwarzwald,
03:46where an early asparagus is grown,
03:49which appears on the fruit markets already in May.
03:52The shipment of these tender fruits
03:54requires special attention.
03:57For hygienic reasons,
03:59it is necessary to avoid any contact.
04:01In addition, asparagus are particularly sensitive to pressure.
04:07For their supply, the Reichsbahn
04:09has constructed special containers.
04:12Several baskets for one receiver
04:15are housed in such a container.
04:18In the freight wagon, it is therefore particularly important
04:21that a constant supply of fresh air
04:23during transport is ensured.
04:27You can see how the ventilation grids
04:29are attached to this purpose.
04:31And so over 1,000 freight wagons with asparagus
04:34travel alone from the Badischer Städtchen Bühl
04:37annually to the big cities of northern Germany
04:39and the Rhine.
04:53Music
05:09We are in a large greenhouse
05:11on Bergstraße.
05:13You can see how tomatoes are harvested
05:16here in the vegetable gardens.
05:18The cultivation of early vegetables
05:20has made significant progress.
05:23The cucumber plantation,
05:25which we see here,
05:27is located at Lignitz.
05:30These greenhouse facilities
05:32allow us to acquire the early vegetables
05:34that we have so far
05:36imported from warmer regions of the country,
05:39now from our own inland production.
05:43After the early vegetables,
05:45the early potatoes come next
05:47in the harvest of the year.
05:49Music
06:19Music
06:27You have to be particularly careful
06:29with waste.
06:31So that the huge amount
06:33that is mostly processed
06:35in cannery factories
06:37does not suffer during transport,
06:39the waste is packed in net bags
06:41and transported by train
06:43in particularly airy floor wagons.
06:46Everywhere where the climatic
06:48and soil conditions allow it,
06:50vegetable cultivation has increased
06:52significantly in the last 15 years,
06:54especially in central Germany.
06:58We see here the harvest of beetroots
07:00and their loading,
07:02where the railway administration
07:04ensures that the beetroots
07:06can be recharged
07:08as fresh as from the earth.
07:11Music
07:16Music
07:47Cherry trees are one of the
07:49most sensitive fruit species,
07:51and the most beautiful harvest
07:53could be ruined if their transport
07:55was not dedicated to special care
07:57and haste.
07:59The mountain road belongs
08:01to the rainy regions of Germany,
08:03which stretches for more than 50 km
08:05to Heidelberg.
08:07The mild climate here
08:09facilitates the cultivation of berry fruit.
08:11Stachelberries are harvested here.
08:13So then we come to a
08:15fruit plantation.
08:17Fruit cultivation has increased
08:19from year to year.
08:21The knowledge of the importance
08:23of fruit for our diet
08:25continues to spread.
08:27For the fruit grower,
08:29it is of crucial importance
08:31that his harvest comes into
08:33the hands of his harvesters
08:35as soon as possible.
08:37Especially raspberries,
08:39which are harvested here,
08:41require the utmost care,
08:43as soon as they are picked
08:45and collected in baskets.
08:47In part, the berries come
08:49as fresh fruits to the market
08:51of the big cities,
08:53while another part is conserved
08:55or processed into juice
08:57or fruit wine.
08:59You see another fruit plantation
09:01where peaches are picked,
09:03which is a delicious fruit
09:05that attracts our table in late summer
09:07and which also thrives
09:09in the protected climate
09:11We are on a freight train station
09:13and see how the baskets
09:15are loaded with the fruits
09:17into the air-blown carriages.
09:19Let's take a look
09:21at the flower cultivation
09:23in Germany.
09:25At the Primm Castle in Schlesien,
09:27the birthplace of the last empress,
09:29there are large gardens.
09:41Another center of garden architecture
09:43in Germany is Erfurt,
09:45whose beautiful cathedral
09:47stands out in front of our eyes.
09:49The garden culture of Erfurt
09:51is richly represented
09:53in the gardens of the Primm Castle
09:55and the Primm Castle
09:57in Schlesien.
09:59The garden culture of
10:01the Primm Castle
10:03is richly represented
10:05in the gardens of the Primm Castle
10:07and the Primm Castle
10:09The garden culture of Erfurt
10:11dates back to the Middle Ages.
10:39For the purpose of the seed culture,
10:41varieties of colors are grown here.
10:43In this greenhouse,
10:45we see how conifers
10:47are artificially fertilized
10:49to produce new species.
10:51From Erfurt,
10:53the whole world is supplied
10:55with flower seeds.
10:57Aster and lefkoyen
10:59are particularly cared for here.
11:01Even before the war,
11:03there were no less than 250 aster varieties
11:05that were grown in Erfurt.
11:07Aster, conifers, edelroses, orchids,
11:09pelagons, fuchsias,
11:11verbenas, heliotropes,
11:13which are shipped in millions of copies.
11:15which are shipped in millions of copies.
11:17In your time,
11:19in Erfurt, flower and vegetable cultivation
11:21was followed by the cultivation of fruit
11:23and fig trees.
11:25The transport of living trees
11:27again poses very special challenges
11:29to the facilities of the railway.
11:31We see how loads of living trees
11:33are brought from the tree schools
11:35to the railway
11:37and loaded into the freight wagons
11:39for the immediate journey.
12:05The main products of the Erfurt vegetable garden
12:07are the flower cabbage,
12:09with which Erfurt supplies the markets
12:11of Halle, Leipzig, Berlin,
12:13Magdeburg, Dresden, Kassel.
12:15The cabbage is sorted
12:17and packed in boxes
12:19for the railway.
12:21From the fields in the distance,
12:23the flower cabbage is harvested
12:25with the railway
12:27directly to the freight wagons
12:29where the loading takes place.
12:31The market Brandenburg
12:33also has a large vegetable garden.
12:35In Nauen, near Berlin,
12:37intensive and tough work
12:39has been done
12:41to clear the soil
12:43for an extensive vegetable garden.
12:45Here, the flower cabbage is grown
12:47on huge areas, harvested
12:49and packed in airy net bags.
12:51The trucks take over the bags
12:53with the flower cabbage harvested
12:55and transport it to the railway
12:57where the freight wagons
12:59will be delivered to the destination
13:01the next morning.
13:17Wide areas of cultivation
13:19are designated for cabbage.
13:21The fields are connected
13:23by railways to the railway station.
13:25Thus, a whole network of railways
13:27is used to transport the harvest
13:29to the demanding locations.
13:31This is a major problem
13:33of agriculture
13:35which is often difficult
13:37for other countries
13:39due to the lack
13:41of means of transport.
14:27You saw a cucumber harvest
14:29in the well-known
14:31Silesian cultivation area
14:33around Lignitz
14:35as well as the sorting and cleaning
14:37of cucumbers in the work rooms.
14:39Cucumbers are delivered
14:41in different ways.
14:43In some cases,
14:45they are handed over to the railway
14:47and, as you can see here,
14:49poured into the freight wagons.
14:51Here, the equipment
14:53brings the cucumbers in sacks to the railway.
14:55The cucumbers are stored
14:57fresh as vegetables and salad
14:59while the other part
15:01is preserved in various ways.
15:03By the way, the cucumber
15:05is not a native fruit.
15:07It is assumed
15:09that it did not come
15:11from the East to Germany
15:13before the 17th century.
15:15The main harvest
15:17falls in August.
15:19When the freight wagons
15:21are filled,
15:23the number of empty wagons
15:25is marked on the outer wall.
15:27And now, the next freight train
15:29goes to the Grand Market Hall
15:31in Frankfurt am Main.
15:53We are in the Black Forest,
15:55the centre of German plum cultivation.
15:57Here, in Bühl,
15:59the plum harvest
16:01begins in the first days of August.
16:53Music
17:19We are back in the East of Germany
17:21in Wolfersdorf,
17:23in Schlesien,
17:25where the fruit cultivation
17:27is doing well.
17:29The apples are sorted
17:31and packed in boxes.
17:33There is no fruit
17:35that is as connected
17:37to the development of our
17:39life habits and culture
17:41as the apple.
17:43The biblical story,
17:45as well as the Greek and
17:47Norse mythology,
17:49shows that the apple
17:51plays an important role
17:53in the economy.
17:55The train ensures
17:57that no damage is caused
17:59by shipping.
