Stolen by Nazis, lost for 70 years: Where is the ‘Amber Room’?


Opulent: The Amber Room replica in the Catherine Palace, St Petersburg, Russia. The original was stolen by the Nazis during World War Two and its current whereabouts is a mystery.

In Germany’s western Ruhr region, a 68-year-old man embarks on a quest to find the Amber Room, which some historians say is the most valuable piece of lost art.

Dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Amber Room was an ornate chamber made of amber panels given to Czar Peter the Great by Prussia’s Friedrich Wilhelm I in 1716. German troops stole the treasure chamber from a palace near St Petersburg in 1941 and took it to Koenigsberg, now the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad.
