Since the beginning of 2022, the trial against six people who are suspected of stealing from the Green Vault treasury has been ongoing in Dresden.

The robbery of the treasury in Dresden: what is known

The “Green Vault” treasury is a collection of rare and highly significant jewels, one of the richest jewelery collections in Europe. In the XVIII century, during the reign of Augustus the Strong, the “Green Vault” was divided into several thematic collections, since then the royal treasury has also become a museum.

The princely collection of jewels in Dresden got its name from the spectacular columns in the hall of jewels Pretiosensaal (in Latin pretios– valuable), which were painted in malachite green.

The theft of the jewels from the Green Vault took place on November 25, 2019. The thieves got inside the building, sawing through the window bars on the first floor. After that, they broke the glass of the display case with jewelry and took away the contents – baroque jewelry made of gold with precious stones.

It is clarified that the criminals previously set fire to the transformer in the catacombs, due to which almost all the major museums of Dresden were de-energized – so the robbers fearlessly climbed into the treasury through the window. However, they were nevertheless filmed by a surveillance camera.

The insured value of the stolen exhibits is 113.8 million euros.
