In 1845 there were a lot of potatoes, but a large proportion of them were rotten or diseased. Many people claimed that the Scottish dance, which had appeared in our country shortly before, was to blame for the fact that the Lord God had sent this disease.

Erdäpfelkrankheit

Anno 1845 gab’s sehr viele Erdäpfel; ein grosser Teil davon war aber faul oder krank.

Viele Leute behaupteten, der schottische Tanz, der kurz vorher bei uns aufgekommen war, sei schuld, dass Gott der Herr diese Krankheit geschickt habe.
