Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

Königsberg

/ ˈkøːnɪçsbɛrk; ˈkɜːnɪɡzˌbɜːɡ /

It took German soldiers just 36 hours and 27 crates to dissemble the entire chamber and ship it to a castle in Königsberg.

However, when the Red Army reached Königsberg in 1945, the Amber Room had mysteriously vanished.

Still, many contend the original Amber Room was smuggled out of Königsberg and hidden during the final days of the war.
