Green Vault (Grünes Gewölbe)

Housed in Dresden's Royal Palace, the Green Vault is among the oldest museums in Europe, displaying the treasures of the Saxon electors. In November 2019, thieves cut the power, forced a window grille, and smashed a display case, making off with 18th-century diamond jewellery of incalculable historic value. Several members of the Remmo crime family were later convicted, and much of the haul was recovered.
