    The robbery in the Green Vault in Dresden


    Recommended Posts

    As You might already have heard, there were pieces stolen from the Green Vault in Dresden today. I haven't found a full list of the missing items yet, but one of the stolen items seems to be this fantastic insignia of the Polish Order of the White Eagle:

    Kleinod des Polnischen Weißen Adler-Ordens

    Bruststern des polnischen Weißen Adler-Ordens

    Kleinod des Polnischen Weißen Adler-Ordens (Diamantrosengarnitur)

     

     

    That's the showcase they broke into - there is still not much information how much they took out of it:

    I am not sure if the German imperial forum this is the right  place to post this - but as the theft happened in Dresden it might be

    Nevertheless I hope the pieces come back...

    Reminds me of the theft of Hitler's Golden party badge in Moscow. Apparently some Russian mobster has a love for medals and decorations. With Dresden being close to a highway to the Netherlands and Poland the chance these are ever seen again is dismal. I don't believe this piece will be taken apart and melted down. Luckily (relatively) this will hopefully be the centre-piece of a collection.

    The stolen items are being estimated at 1.5 billion.

    I've heard that too, but I think it's exaggerated. It's pretty hard to put a price on it

    What I really hope is that they don't break the pieces, regrind the jewels and melt down the metal, that would be horrific.
