Several art treasures collectively worth up to €1bn were stolen from the German institution in the early hours of Monday morning. Intruders broke in through a ground floor window, then used an axe to smash a display case in the Jewel Room. German newspaper Bild reported that this may be the largest post-war art theft in history.
