Thi s gi ft was the Am ber Rom, whi ch was gi ven thi s nam e because several tons of am ber were used to m ake it. The am ber which was sel ected had a beauti ful yel owbrown col our li ke honey. The desi gn of the room was i n the fancy styl e popul ar in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gol d and jewels, which took the country’s best artists about ten years to make. In fact, the rom was not m ade to be a gi ft. It was desi gned for the pal ace of Fredri ck I. H owever, the next Ki ng of Prussia, Fredri ck Wil li am I, to whom the am ber room bel onged, deci ded not to keep i t. In 1716 he gave i t to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best sol diers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar’s winter pal ace in St Petersburg.

There i s no doubt that the boxes were then put on a trai n for Konigsberg, whi ch was at a tim e a Germ an ci ty on the Bal tic Sea. After that, what happened to the Am ber Room rem ai ns a m ystery. Recentl y, the Russi ans and Germ ans have buil t a new Am ber Room at the summ er pal ace. By studyi ng ol d photos of the form er Am ber rom, they have m ade the new one looke li ke the ol d one.
