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”（Amber Room）。完成后的琥珀屋面积约55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，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，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， 寻找，却始终不见其踪影。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。
