This is what this website said about the fate of the Amber Room. Link below.

After the war, the German official in charge of the amber shipment said the crates were in a castle that burned down in an air raid. A Soviet investigator found a charred fragment from the room. Others think the palace sank to the bottom of the Baltic Sea in a torpedoed steamer or was stashed in an abandoned mine in Thuringia.

Thank you!!! I understand that “they’re” trying to recreate it. I’d rather that they FIND the original...It’s the mystery.
