After the discovery of Telaga Patengan by Franz Wilhelm Junghun, in 1856 the Dutch East Indies government planted large-scale quinine in this area. The quinine seeds taken were quinine seeds from Cinyiruan, Pangalengan District, which had planted quinine one year earlier. After that, this area became the fourth largest quinine planting center after Cinyiruan, Kertamanah and Cikembang. The last generation of Dutch East Indies quinine in Telaga Patenggang was named Lugten under the auspices of Onderneming Quininefabriken Cinyiruan by a world quinine expert named KErbosch. In addition, Telaga Patenggang has a very strong legend, but I will not discuss the legend. What I will discuss is the existence of a Dutch house in the middle of the lake forest and the grave of a Dutchman named Tuan Balakasap.
