1．This gift was the Amber Room，which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it.
2．The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellowbrown colour like honey.
3．However，the next King of Prussia，Frederick William Ⅰ，to whom the amber room belonged，decided not to keep it.
4．Later，Catherine Ⅱ had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers.
5．This was a time when the two countries were at war.
6．There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Königsberg，which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea.
