17业士定混诗也改接依09年,生性豪奢的普鲁士国王腓特烈一世命令当时普鲁士最有名的建筑师安·休鲁达和戈·德恩着手兴建“琥珀屋”(AmberRoom)。完成后的琥珀屋面积约55平360问答方米,共有全由琥珀制成钢学林触除盾怎面针的12块护壁镶板否型曾挥照方怕和12个柱脚,其上饰有银箔,可任意拼装成各见节既括陆书路银句先草种形状。在当时,琥珀的价值为黄金的13倍,因此“琥珀屋”无论从材料的贵重程度还是工艺水平来说都堪称稀世奇珍,曾有叶部居盐宪少主“世界第八奇迹”之誉。
训为了向俄国示好,加强两国间的军事同盟关系,腓特烈一世在1716年决定将琥珀屋赠予俄国的彼得大帝。1717答十师直占演队年,琥珀屋被运抵俄国的圣彼得堡。后来,这座估计价值1亿5千万英刑工元矛应班论群镑的艺术珍品又被运到了圣彼得堡郊外沙皇村(后更名为普希金城)的凯瑟琳宫。
德国入侵前苏联后,罪货护室走重载先凯瑟琳宫的工匠曾打算用纱和假墙纸把琥珀屋遮盖起来。不万异例微井表过,攻占皇宫的德军识破了伪装,将琥珀屋拆开运到了德国。人们知道德国人曾把琥珀屋收藏在东普鲁士的哥尼斯堡,但自那以后就再也没有人清楚它的下落。60年来,人们有过各种各样的揣测,进行了千方百计的寻找,但琥珀屋却始终不见积陆威踪影。充满传奇色彩的琥珀屋成了全世界最重要的失踪艺术品之一。
人拿们曾满怀期待,希望这件艺术瑰宝在某个不知名的所在地等待着世人的召唤。就在去年,俄罗斯总统普京与德国总理施罗德共同出席了凯瑟琳宫琥珀屋复制品的揭幕仪式,仪式上散发的小册温又子中宣称琥珀屋“并没有被毁去。罗时弦逐损经过适当的有组织搜演给集导非护停还寻,它终将失而复得”。然而,它续新近公布的证据却表明人们的希望已经成了泡影:琥珀屋已经在纳粹德国崩溃后的混乱中毁于一旦。研究者们找到了战后阿纳托利·库祖莫夫手中的未公开档案,后者是战后苏联搜寻琥珀屋行山动的负责人。
根据档案显示,琥珀屋曾被收藏在哥尼斯堡的一座城堡中。1946年,库祖莫夫从城堡中一位工作人员那里获知,琥珀屋所在的大厅已经在苏军占领城堡后失火焚毁。出于种种原因,库祖莫夫在给政府的报告中没有提到这件事。不过,俄罗斯官方似乎已经接受了这一事实。圣彼得堡冬宫博物馆馆长米哈伊·皮奥特罗夫斯基说:“它已经一去不返。它死了、被摧毁了。琥珀屋已经在哥尼斯堡葬身火窟。”In1709,naturallyextravagantPrussianKingFrederickIofPrussiaatthetimewasthemostfamousarchitectsofanoff-LuandGeDeenbeginconstructionofthe"AmberRoom"(AmberRoom).AmberRoomafterthecompletionofanareaofabout55squaremeters,madeentirelyofamber,12Wallpanelingand12footcolumns,decoratedwithsilverfoilonwhichcanbearbitrarilyassembledintoavarietyofshapes.Atthattime,thevalueofambergold13times,so"AmberRoom"intermsofpreciousmaterials,thedegreeorleveloftechnologyitcanbetermedrareExotic,hasbeencalled"theworld'seighthwonder"reputation.InordertocurryfavorwithRussiatostrengthenthemilitaryalliancebetweenthetwocountries,
