Diamond thieves stole three ‘priceless’ sets of 18th-century jewellery from a German museum in an early-morning raid today. <\/p>\n

The Green Vault in Dresden has suffered an ‘immeasurable’ loss after burglars broke into the building in the early hours of this morning, officials said. <\/p>\n

The thieves switched off a power supply at 5am before breaking through a window into a museum which once boasted it was ‘as secure as Fort Knox’, it is believed.<\/p>\n

Once inside, they smashed open a cabinet and stole three jewellery ensembles which were commissioned by Saxony’s former ruler Augustus the Strong in an 18th-century show of power. <\/p>\n

Museum experts have said the items are priceless and could never be sold, but Bild<\/a> reported that up to a billion euros’ worth of treasures may have been stolen – which would make it the biggest art heist in history. <\/p>\n

Two thieves were seen on CCTV cameras inside the museum but they escaped in a getaway car and a manhunt has so far proved fruitless.  <\/p>\n

What are the world’s biggest heists? <\/h3>\n
\n

Up to one billion euros’ (\u00a3850million or $1.1billion) worth of treasures may have been stolen in today’s break-in which could make it the largest heist ever. <\/p>\n

It would surpass a series of other famous thefts, including:  <\/p>\n

Theft of the Mona Lisa, Paris- $700million at today’s prices <\/p>\n

Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece was stolen from the Louvre in Paris in 1911. <\/p>\n

The thief, Vincenzo Peruggia, eventually took it to Italy, where it was recovered and returned in 1914.<\/p>\n

When it was assessed for insurance in the 1960s, the Mona Lisa was valued at $100million – meaning it would be worth around $700million today. <\/p>\n

Gardner Museum, Boston – $500million <\/p>\n

In March 1990, two thieves stole 13 artworks worth $500million from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. <\/p>\n

The pair disguised themselves as Boston police officers and left with works of art by Rembrandt and Manet among others. <\/p>\n

The crime remains unsolved and last year the museum renewed an offer of $10million to help find the artworks. <\/p>\n

Hatton Garden, London – estimates up to \u00a3200million<\/p>\n

A gang of ageing criminals ransacked 73 deposit boxes at the Hatton Garden Safety Deposit building in London’s jewellery district in 2015. <\/p>\n

Disguised as workmen, they abseiled down a lift shaft over the Easter weekend and used a diamond-tipped drill to cut through the vault wall. <\/p>\n

The thieves stole gold, silver, diamonds and jewellery and some estimates at the time put the value at up to \u00a3200million. <\/p>\n

The Scream, Oslo – $120million<\/p>\n

Edvard Munch’s iconic painting The Scream was stolen by armed robbers in broad daylight in 2004. <\/p>\n

It was recovered by police two years later and one of the thieves died while still at large. <\/p>\n

In 2012, another version of the painting was sold in the US for $120million.  <\/p>\n

Nazi theft of Adele Bloch-Bauer I – $135million <\/p>\n

A painting of his wife by Jewish artist Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer was stolen by the Nazis in 1941. <\/p>\n

It remained in Austria until 2006 when it was returned to the Bloch-Bauer family and sold for what was then a record $135million.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At a press conference this afternoon, museum director Marion Ackermann said she was ‘shocked’ by the ‘brutality’ of the break-in. <\/p>\n

Thieves smashed into a glass cabinet and made off with three sets of jewellery which were made for Augustus the Strong, the elector of Saxony in the 18th century, she explained. <\/p>\n

Augustus competed with French monarch Louis XIV to assemble the most extravagant jewellery, she explained, describing the items stolen as ‘state treasures of the 18th century’. <\/p>\n

Augustus, who was elector of Saxony from 1694 to 1733 and also king of Poland for much of that time, established Dresden as a cultural centre and founded the museum which was targeted today. <\/p>\n

The material worth of the jewellery was less important than the fact that the jewels had come as a set, Ackermann said. <\/p>\n

Asked about the suggested value of a billion euros (\u00a3850million), she said the value of the items stolen could not be quantified. <\/p>\n

‘We’re dealing with priceless artistic and cultural treasures,’ she told reporters in Dresden this afternoon. ‘We cannot give a value because it is impossible to sell.’<\/p>\n

Appealing to the thieves not to destroy the objects or melt them down, she said the jewellery was of ‘inestimable cultural and historical value’ and could never be sold on the open market. <\/p>\n

Dirk Syndram, another director at the museum, said the sets amounted to ‘a kind of world heritage’, totalling about 100 jewellery items. <\/p>\n

Police say they were alerted to the break-in at 4.59am and suspect that the thieves were behind an electrical fire which broke out nearby.   <\/p>\n

Shutting off the electricity may have helped the burglars to disable the museum’s alarm systems and also left the area in darkness.  <\/p>\n

In addition, a burned-out vehicle was discovered nearby and detectives are now trying to track down the owner to establish whether the fire was related to the theft. <\/p>\n

Reports in Germany say the thieves were ‘noticeably small’ and able to fit through a tiny space in a window.  <\/p>\n

At the press conference, police said that the smashed cabinet had been made of special safety glass but that it was unclear how the thieves had broken it. <\/p>\n

Detectives are now examining the video footage on which two people are seen, but others may have been waiting outside to help them escape in a getaway car.  <\/p>\n

A getaway car could have been well on its way to the motorway within minutes of leaving the museum, they warned.  <\/p>\n

State police officers are now at the crime scene as they investigate how the thieves got inside and stole the jewellery. <\/p>\n

‘We have not identified a perpetrator and nor have we yet made any arrests,’ police spokesman Marko Laske said.  <\/p>\n

A notice on the museum’s website this morning states only that the building is closed today for ‘organisational reasons’.    <\/p>\n

‘Not only our state collections but we the people of Saxony have been robbed,’ said regional premier Michael Kretschmer. <\/p>\n

‘You cannot understand the history of our state without the Green Vault. The treasures found there were made by the hard work of people in our state.’  <\/p>\n

The security measures at the museum had appeared to be in order and ‘comprehensive’, he said. <\/p>\n

State interior minister Roland Woeller said it was a ‘bitter day for the cultural heritage of Saxony’. <\/p>\n

The thieves ‘stole cultural treasures of immeasurable worth – that is not only the material worth but also the intangible worth to the state of Saxony, which is impossible to estimate,’ he said. <\/p>\n

A \u20ac1billion art theft would be comfortably the largest in history, surpassing the $500million raid on the Gardner Museum in Boston nearly 30 years ago. <\/p>\n

Two thieves disguised as police officers stole 13 works of art from the Boston museum in March 1990 and the crime remains unsolved.  <\/p>\n

The Dresden museum was founded by in 1723 and houses thousands of items including historic coins and jewellery.  <\/p>\n

However, one of its most valuable treasures – a 41-carat naturally green diamond called the Dresden Green – is currently out on loan in New York. <\/p>\n

The museum did not put a current value on the piece, but said that at the time of its purchase it cost 400,000 thalers, compared to the 288,000 thalers it cost to build the city’s lavish Frauenkirche church at around the same time. <\/p>\n

The museum also houses include a 25-inch figure of a Moor studded with emeralds and a 648-carat sapphire gifted by Tsar Peter I of Russia at a meeting in 1698.<\/p>\n

Other valuable items include a jewel-studded sculpture of an Indian royal court, made out of gold, silver, enamel, precious stones and pearls.<\/p>\n

Another is a 1701 golden coffee service by court jeweller Johann Melchior Dinglinger, decorated with lounging cherubs. <\/p>\n

In 2010, then-museum director Martin Roth boasted in an interview with Die Welt<\/a> that the Green Vault was ‘as secure as Fort Knox’. <\/p>\n

Roth explained how the vault was protected by ‘invisible’ security systems, but warned that the biggest danger was information leaking out from inside.  <\/p>\n

The collection dates back to 1723, while the Dresden royal palace which houses it was first built in 1533 as the home for the electors and later kings of Saxony. <\/p>\n

The Green Vault gets its name from the green-coloured columns and decoration in some of the rooms.  <\/p>\n

The museum and palace were rebuilt after the devastating Allied bombing of Dresden in World War II. Some of the items were looted by Soviet troops in 1945, but later returned. <\/p>\n

Only part of the collection was on display during the Cold War, when Dresden was part of communist East Germany. <\/p>\n

However, the museum was extensively rebuilt in the 2000s and its two exhibitions now form one of the ‘best-preserved treasuries in Europe’, its website says. <\/p>\n

Angela Merkel hosted then-US President Barack Obama there in 2009 during his early months in office.  <\/p>\n

In 2017, a 220lb gold coin the size of a manhole cover was stolen from a Berlin museum and is feared to have been melted down. <\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege that the burglars broke into the museum through an upstairs window and used a ladder, wheelbarrow and rope to extract the coin. A trial remains underway.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
