and we dive into the impressionistic 1st novel of turkish german author and. mom about the lives of girls and women in rural turkey in our continuing series 100 german dreaming. of the green vault in the german city of dresden is the historic treasure chamber all of the saxon kings it got its name thanks to the molokai green painted columns in some of its rooms and it houses some $3000.00 precious objects made of gold silver ivory and gems and after world war 2 the russians carried much of it off to moscow but the saxons worked very hard to bring the entire collection home and now after a break in early on monday some pieces have gone missing again. at around 520 on monday morning emergency services were called out to a fire and a power distributor investigators are now examine the possibility that the fire was

sabotage to cut off the power supply and facilitate access to the museum. and as i know between it was a display case with 3 sets of jewelry within the historic green wall which was affect it in this. there is a diamond 32nd diamond search with a later cut and a diamond. the green vault in dresden is a residential oss is the historic depository for a collection of treasures assembled by the saxon electors and kings aug the strong had it built between 172-3730 there are 10 lavishly furnished rooms containing around $3000.00 pieces of jewelry and other precious items. the palace itself was destroyed in the 2nd world war by bombs and the green vault only reopened in 2006. the state government made this statement. to this represents for the free state of sex in the a major cultural and political loss and major blow if you are able to get back

these art objects and fought for the part of. the perpetrators fled in a car a nationwide manhunt is underway. amazing stuff and joining me in the studio to talk about this spectacular heist is my colleague scott roxboro welcome scott senior in a while this was not only spectacular but also an incredibly odd day just robbery how did they pull this off yeah its details are still coming out the police are just begun they're really their investigation but from what we know so far from the police told us. they struck early in the morning it was dark partially because of this blackout of the power outage in the streets of the renaults those street lights maybe that was connect the route with police and said specifically on that the robbers went to a side window cut through the bars of the window went through the bullet proof glass went straight to a display case smashed it grabbed the jewels that were there took off the alarm

went off the they were caught on video were caught on video they think there might be other accomplices they got away in a getaway car which they think might have burned out the 15 minutes later they found a car which doors all open smelling of gasoline had been burnt out they soon it might be the getaway car but there's a lot of i mean it's sounds like a like a movie but there are a lot of questions to look we still don't know a lot of the details so and how much did they actually get this is the big question what's the value you know all of the value is very difficult to calculate in this in this case because the the pieces there are something like 4000 some pieces in the museum and and it's really of incalculable value what they actually got were 3 sets of jewels that belong to 2 strong logs the 2nd who created the original collection in the early 18th century and these would have been his was personal bling really it would have been is his is necklaces is cufflinks diamonds and so forth that he would wear what i'm so yes you know completely completely and at the

time he was in sort of a jewel race with the sun king louis the 14th in france trying to. do each other with more stations more impressive jewelry so so the actual material value i guess could be calculated but they've refused to do that. because they said the collection really is irreplaceable and its cultural value its historical value is immeasurable to the next question because obviously this isn't the kind of stuff it's too well known you can't just walk into a pawn shop and get rid of it what can the burglars do with it now well it's will be interesting to see what happens now because this is you said this this really can't be sold on the open market there's no reputable jeweler who would who would who would buy it people even thieves probably could even buy this because they couldn't pass on to their children that would somehow turn up. they think either the thieves will don't know this and will try and sell it and maybe even get caught or in the worst case scenario they'll break it down for pieces and sell it off hopefully they are watching the news now this is the kind of thing we as we said we

think only happens in the movies but there's actually been quite a lot of art heist in recent years tell us about some of the yeah i mean even here in berlin 2 years ago in the bow to museum there was a huge. heist of all look seemingly quite similar to this where thieves broke in and stole a 100 kilogram heavy gold coins from our country have been coined the police huge big maple leaf coin it was stolen and it was again mazing smash and grab operation of a group of criminals they were caught on c.c.t.v. cameras broke in the 2nd floor window of the museum stole the coin got away the police actually found the people who are responsible arrested them but the coin is gone we assume it's been melted down and saxon premier michael crichton are made a dramatic statement this morning saying that the thieves have robbed the people of saxony of their cultural heritage just how big

a blow is this for germany it's really substantial i mean the only comparison i really could make would be what would happen if the crown jewels were stolen in london you know the impact that would have on the cultural and historical impact that would have on britain it's a similar thing here this isn't. unbelievable treasure trove of german history the actual material value is not important here it's really the the the cultural value the historical value that's why you could hear it in the voice of the premier of sax the today he is just incredibly distraught people to sack you know you have people robbed yes we have been robbed the people of saks our culture has been taken from us and let's hope that the police will be able to do to recover these these things and certainly a story that well we'll have to keep our eyes on thank you very much for bringing us saw all those details. like monk in norway unbelievable that they're actually happening today yes and here it is hiding stuff let's hope it gets solved thanks scott roxboro. well now to a living treasure and a woman who is the personification of rock'n'roll stamina tina turner who was born
