The Amber Room was once called the 8th wonder of the world. A dazzling chamber completely adorned with Amber Panels was the stuff of legends. Then World War 2 began and the Nazis quickly plundered this treasured masterpiece of the USSR. But whatever happened to this priceless room?

From a silver and goldsmith / gem cutter and someone that works with Baltic amber perspective: I kept waiting for them to talk about how far back in human history the use of amber goes. It's a deep history and just one of the uses of amber in ancient times was as a fire starter. Amber burns, as it burns and more of it melts the fire will just keep increasing. Given the battle damage visible on the castle and then the possible torching of it after, I've always felt the amber room burned. If that's true then nothing would be found of it after a fire bad enough to destroy an entire castle.

@siliconwolverine Месяц назад

I always felt the same. It would have burned hot enough no trace would have survived that science of the time could have found.

@Pack.Leader Месяц назад

Thank you so much for this interesting bit of information that only someone with your knowledge could pass along to the rest of us. I think it seems they burned it all too. Such a shame.

@gonefishing167 Месяц назад

Sounds very feasible but - how sad. Makes you wonder how much of what they stole is still missing. It’s so very sad and a loss to humanity 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

@Montana_horseman Месяц назад

@@gonefishing167 A good friend that got me into working with Baltic amber was an older lady from Latvia on the Baltic coast, where much amber is found. During WW2 her father was taken by the nazis and never came back. Many years later she learned her father had be executed by them because they released the photos they took of people before executing them. Her fathers photo was part of that release. I love working with amber but there's a part of it that's bitter sweet to me because of her fathers fate.

This documentary makes it appear as if the Amber Room had been Russian from the get go and only shortly mentions that it was crafted by Germans before being “presented” to the Russian Tsar. But in fact is was a German art work ordered by the Prussian King Friedrich I for his Berlin Castle, designed by a German (Johann Friedrich Eosander) and manufactured by German craftsmen. Although it belonged to the Russian empire later in history this is an important background story and not making that clear is a red flag in any documentary!

I’ve read somewhere that late in the war a boat left the Kronesburg. It was loaded with refugees and was sunk. In the hold of this boat passengers saw large boxes and crates seen being loaded. Were they full of the reminders of the amber room? This boat was torpedoed by the Russians and repidly sank with a large majority of the passengers drown. Maybe the Amber Room is at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.😂

The conclusion of detailed investigation undertaken by the allies after the war was that it was destroyed by fire in an allied air raid on a castle which had been targeted as an ss control centre. Remnants recovered from the remains contained burnt amber with wood from the storage cabinets used for transportation. The Germans themselves Told the enquiry that the last place it was stored together was at this castle and there was no doubt whatsoever that the burnt remnants in the ruins of the castle were all that remained of the amber room.
