The castle of the F�rsten and Burggrafen zu Dohna in Schlobitten, east of Elbing is said to be a possible hiding place for the Amber Room.

In summer of 1944, Dr. Alfred Rohde asks Alexander F�rst zu Dohna-Schlobitten for permission to offer his estate for the storage of valuable art treasures. Even knowing that Rohde is asking on order of Gauleiter Erich Koch, the F�rst still declines. Alexander zu Dohna sure had support of someone more powerful than Koch, maybe of Himmler and the SS. Besides, the Heeresgruppe Nord was using the Castle Schlobitten as a deposite for looted art. The known Graf Solms, a relative of the F�rsten, was in command of the deposit in the several cellar floors. Only a little while later, the castle was blasted, when the German troups were surrounded by the Russians.

The investigations in the ruins are still not finished, because we continue to receive hints on further underground cellars of the century old history of Castle Schlobitten, but most of them being flooded.
