Konigin der Fruhen

[Moshou]

I have in my garden few tomato plants named Konigin der Fruhen. Unfortunately, two weeks ago an ice storm knocked down their fruits and some flowers, so I must wait for the next fruits. Does anybody know some about this tomato variety?

I think it means "Early Queen" or "Queen of the Earlies". It's a new one to me.

Thank you all.
I wonder what 'non-commercial variety' means
