Amber Room, the best and biggest work of amber art ever made, was first built for the palace of Frederick I. In 1716, Frederick William I gave it to Peter the Great as a gift of friendship and in return he got the Czar’s 55 best soldiers. Thus the Amber Room became part of the Czar’s summer palace in St. Petersburg and served as a small reception hall for important visitors. Later, Catherine II told her artists to add more details to its design. Unfortunately, in September 1941, When Russia and Nazi Germany were at war, the Amber Room was secretly stolen by the Nazis. 100,000 pieces of the room were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg. After that, the Amber Room was missing. While the search for the old room continues, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room which was ready for the people of St .Petersbrug to celebrate the 300th birthday of their city in the spring of 2003.
