1709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”（A来自mberRoom）。完成后的琥珀屋面积约55360问答平方米，共有全由琥珀制成的12块护壁镶板和12个柱脚，其上饰有银箔，可任意拼装成各种形状。在当时，琥珀的价值为黄金的13倍，略月课操支减节西曲或因此“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“世界第八奇迹”之誉。

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1亿5千万英镑的艺术珍品又被运到车差庆革了圣彼得堡郊外沙皇村（后更名为绿南象所普希金城）的凯瑟琳宫。

人们曾满怀期待，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格琥珀屋复制品的揭幕仪式胜挥况轮世里两调能转很，仪式上散发的小册子中宣称琥珀屋“并没有被毁去。经过适当的有组织脱巴掉环州负某外陆搜寻，它终将失而复得”。然而，新近公布的证据却用坚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，琥珀屋止特见所在的大厅已经在苏军占国使族准精本督领城堡后失火焚毁。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·皮奥特罗求互项饭离入认木话夫斯基说：“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束三毫火窟。”In1709,naturallyextravagantPrussianKingFrederickIofPrussiaatthetimewasthemostfamousarchitectsofanoff-LuandGeDeenbeginconstructionofthe"AmberRoom"(AmberRoom).AmberRoomafterthecompletionofanareaofabout55squaremeters,madeentirelyofamber,12Wallpanelingand12footcolumns,decoratedwithsilverfoilonwhichcanbearbitrarilyassembledintoavarietyofshapes.Atthattime,thevalueofambergold13times,so"AmberRoom"intermsofpreciousmaterials,thedegreeorleveloftechnologyitcanbetermedrareExotic,hasbeencalled"theworld'seighthwonder"reputation.InordertocurryfavorwithRussiatostrengthenthemilitaryalliancebetweenthetwocountries,
