Dresden Green Vault robbery jewels recovered after heist

Jul 21,2022 9:50 am

German police say they have recovered A Number of 18th-century treasures stolen from a Dresden museum during a €113m (£98m; $119m) heist in 2019.

Authorities returned 31 objects to The Green Vault museum after being secured overnight in Berlin.

The items were reportedly found after talks with the lawyers of six men currently On Trial for the theft.

Among the items are a diamond-encrusted breast star and a richly-jewelled Heron Tail hat decoration.

The Thieves stole the treasures from part of A Collection created in 1723 by Saxony 's ruler, Augustus the Strong. They were housed in The Vault , known in German as Dreden's, until The Robbery 2019.

The Returned items will now be examined by specialists in order to confirm the pieces' authenticity.

Not all of the items have been found, however. An epaulette which includes a precious stone known as the Dresden White Diamond is Still Missing .

Authorities have given little detail about how The Jewels were secured.

The Trial of The Thieves , which started in January, is set to resume on Tuesday, AFP news agency reports.

The Green Vault collection is housed in eight ornate rooms in the Residenzschloss - a former Royal Palace .

Three rooms were destroyed by Allied bombing in World War Two, but after The War The Museum was restored to its previous glory.

It is called The Green Vault because some rooms were decorated with malachite-green paint.

There are about 3,000 items of jewellery and other treasures decorated with gold, silver, ivory and pearl.

The Collection was founded by Augustus the Strong. He was Elector of Saxony - a German prince entitled to take part in the election of the Emperor - and later king of Poland .
