History
The objects were first moved to Freiburg in Silesia. From Freiburg, they are said to have been taken to Oberschreiberhau in Silesia. Eyewitnesses report that the art objects were loaded onto Russian trucks from there. Other reports indicate that the objects were moved to the Paulinum Castle collection center near Hirschberg. The castle is said to have burned down in 1945 with all the art objects inside.
