E11 - Ab jetzt wird wirklich gemogelt!

In Ermangelung anderer Pausenplätze … Wegorzewo nach GoldapGefahren am 4. August 202380 Kilometer, 738 Höhenmeter Puhhh! Das war heute mal wieder ein echter Knaller.

Treasure Hunters believe they have found the fabled Amber room  

The dazzling treasures of the Amber Room might finally have been found. Treasure hunters claim to have found a hatch to an underground room or bunker in Poland that’s been sealed for decades in which they hope to discover the contents to the Amber Room, one of the most beautiful and elaborate rooms in history, so dazzling that it has been described as the Eighth Wonder of the World. It has been missing for 70 years.

The ornate jeweled panels, embellished with amber and gold leaf, were gifted to Tsar Peter the Great in 1716 and are estimated to be worth at least $280 million. During the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the room was discovered by the Nazis, disassembled, and reportedly conveyed to Konigsberg. But when the Germans were faced with losing the war and an advancing Red Army, the Amber Room panels were supposedly hidden or spirited away.

Treasure hunter leader Bartlomiej Plebanczyk from the Mamerki Bunker museum has revealed that he and his team “made a breakthrough” in the search, zeroing in on a possible secret bunker located near the town of Wegorzewo in the northeastern region of Poland. Their radar device indicated the existence of a bunker or tunnel of sorts beneath the ground, leading them to start digging.

“Thanks to the use of a professional geo-radar, we were able to determine the location of an underground tunnel. After digging up the place indicated by the device, we actually found a hatch, which has almost certainly not been opened since the war,” Plebanczyk said. “Several dozen years have passed since the entrance was buried. At that time, on the original 1.5m x 1.5m plate, which closes the entrance, a tree has grown.”

As Plebanczyk noted, there’s no “physical possibility” of opening the hatch until the tree is cut down, and the existence of the tree trunk “proves that no one has opened the manhole for the last several decades.”

Construction of the Amber Room began in 1701 in Germany, ironically. It was installed at Charlottenburg Palace, home of Friedrich I, the first King of Prussia. “Truly an international collaboration, the room was designed by German baroque sculptor Andreas Schlüter and constructed by the Danish amber craftsman Gottfried Wolfram,” according to the Smithsonian. “Peter the Great admired the room on a visit, and in 1716 the King of Prussia—then Frederick William I—presented it to the Peter as a gift, cementing a Prussian-Russian alliance against Sweden.”

The Amber Room arrived in Russia in 18 large boxes and was then installed in the Winter House in St. Petersburg as part of an art collection. In 1755, Czarina Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, ordered the room to be moved to the Catherine Palace in Pushkin, named Tsarskoye Selo, or “Czar’s Village.” Italian designer Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli “redesigned the room to fit into its new, larger space using additional amber shipped from Berlin.”

During the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the Nazis looted the Amber Room in Catherine the Great’s Palace, despite the Soviets’ frantic efforts to conceal the walls. In early 1945, some believe the room’s contents were destroyed during the Allied bombings of the area. Others say crates were placed in a submarine to convey it to safety, but the sub was attacked and sank.

Ever since the 1940s, treasure hunters have been searching Poland and Germany for the Amber Room. The leading theory is that it was buried in an underground tunnel along with other Nazi loot. Several times teams have claimed to be closing in, only to be disappointed.

The group that found this hatch say that it’s near Hitler’s Eastern Front headquarters, sometimes called the “Wolf’s Lair.” As soon as they obtain government permission, they plan to dig deeper.

The Wolfsschanze

The Wolfsschanze is a 6.5 km sqaure complex, which was completed by 21 June 1941, consisted of three concentric security zones. The installations were served by a nearby airfield and railway lines. Buildings within the complex were camouflaged with bushes, grass and artificial trees planted on the flat roofs; netting was also erected between buildings and the surrounding forest so from the air,…

So we are in Königsberg, Germany. The city is under attack and we can’t see if the amber was taken by Alfred Rohde  and hidden before the fire started but as I was telling you last time, we didn’t feel the smell of amber all over the city as it should be if such a quantity of amber would be burnt.

As we are here and we couldn’t figure out what happen with the amber we will go for another trip in time. We will go to the year 1950, when the Nazi ex. chief administrator of East Prussia, Erich Kock

  was incarcerated and kept alive after the war in hope he will reveal where the Amber Room was concealed. It was supposed that he knew where the treasury was transported. It was supposed that the treasury was moved from Königsberg to Wuppertal in Germany. Erich Kock was also taken from prison to the museum site to show Polish officials where the amber was concealed. Kock was unable to identify where the location was.

We will go to the  1960 and we will watch how Kock is again taken out of prison, this time to the Bunker 31, in Bremen Germany, with the hope that he will find the location where the treasury was concealed. But again we will see that he will fail to find it.

Now we will go to another place where people believed the treasury might be found. We will go to Mamerki museum near Wegorzewo in Poland. This place was one of the most important command center of the Third Reich. In this museum we can also see a replica fragment of the Amber Room. We can also have a closer look about the history of the museum on here  http://www.mamerki.com/en/strona.xhtml?p=mamerki

Museum leaders think that the treasury might be in here behind a false wall, hidden in an old war bunker. They think it can be here after they found out an unknown room measuring 1,98 m wide and 3 m long using a geo-radar. This theory is also based on a testimony from a ex. night guard from war time. He saw that in one night in the winter of 1944, a heavily-guarded truck driving to the bunker and unloading a big cargo. The room was sealed after they finished unloading the truck. The leaders of the museum want to drill a hole into the wall so the they can see if they can find the Amber or other treasuries that might be left behind by Nazi. The museum curators found out earlier about this possibility  but they wanted to make sure that this might be the place so they asked few experts that confirmed the fact that this place should be the most logical place where the treasury might be.

This time we will follow from the shadow others that have tried to find the treasury. We will go to the year 1997, when a group of German art detectives found out that a piece from the Amber chamber is on the market. They identified the seller, he was the son of a soldier. He didn’t knew that the piece of amber was from the Amber Room. The fact that one amber piece was on the market sustains the idea that the Amber Room wasn’t destroyed in the city attack or at least not all of it.

Now we will follow another attempt to find the Amber Room, this attempt is made by 3 guys (Leonard Blume, Guenther Eckardt and Peter Lor), they think that the treasury is concealed in the Ore Mountains in one of the caves called Prince’s cave. They have a few reasons to believe that, one is that the railway used to be nearby and there was a train from Königsberg in 1945, they also found that the caves have some cavities that look like a bunker using a geo-radar and on the walls of the caves they found also cables that might have been used to lower the cargo deeper in the cave. These guys have also been reading the witness testimonials that the Stasi and KGB had.

Unfortunately they can’t do to much exploring as they need funds to do it .

Fortunately we can go to visit the replica of Amber Room, that was completed in 2003 in Catherine Palace of Tsarskoye Selo near Saint Petersburg. The construction of replica started in 1979 and it was finished in 2003, the cost was over $11 millions. The replica is as beautiful as the first Amber Room, maybe even more beautiful.

I hope you enjoyed our trip and the story.

Lost and not yet found II So we are in Königsberg, Germany. The city is under attack and we can't see if the amber was taken by Alfred Rohde  and hidden before the fire started but as I was telling you last time, we didn't feel the smell of amber all over the city as it should be if such a quantity of amber would be burnt.
