Polish heritage authorities have officially approved archaeological investigations and exploratory drilling at sites in the Diemiany region of northern Poland, and aim to investigate claims related to the legendary Nazi “gold train” and the treasures of the missing Amberroom.
The site is located near the former SS training grounds, which was founded in late 1943. American treasure hunter Jan Delingowski has tracked the locations that are allegedly aiming for a statement by the official former Nazi Elichkoch, who is responsible for leading the updated search and is said to have received important death testimony about treasure cries. According to permission granted by the Pomeranian Voivodeship Monuments Conservator, preliminary findings from previous heritage surveys suggest that there may be World War I-era bunkers or hidden German deposits on the Dziemiany site. This approval allows for intensive archaeological work and core excavation, rather than full-scale excavation.
This is one of the few officially approved investigations into the enduring legend of the enduring legend of a train loaded with gold, jewels and treasures stolen by the Nazis, including the famous Amber Room, and is considered “the eighth wonder in the world.” Amber’s room was plundered from Katherine’s Palace in Russia in 1941 and is one of the most famous missing treasures of World War II. Previous searches, particularly around the Owl Mountains near Waubrutzic and Khushi Castle, never produced conclusive evidence of the buried train. The radar scan, which penetrated the ground, made the headline in 2015 when Poland’s Deputy Minister of Culture said “I am 99% certain” that the train had been buried near Waublzsch. However, subsequent geological investigations determined signals that could be attributed to natural rock and ice formation, and no tracks or tunnels were found.
Polish scientists later confirmed that the anomaly was geological and not human, but prompted the end of excavation efforts after significant financial investment. The expected golden train remained elusive.
Despite these failures, the legendary cultural and economic impacts continue. The town of Waubrutzic saw a surge in tourism by more than 40% after attracting media attention. The local museum thought it was naming the roundabout after the requester who first reported the location of the train. Despite historians widely viewed the golden train as a widely unproven myth, legend is interwoven with popular imaginations. Delingowski’s current project differs from past efforts by focusing on Pomerania’s Dziemiany rather than Wałbrzych. His decade of research seeks to validate claims related to the records of buried SS, treasures, and perhaps amber rooms. Polish authorities now believe there is sufficient preliminary evidence to further investigate through controlled investigation methods.
If the excavation reveals structural relics or artifacts of Germany’s Second World War, follow-up excavation or preservation operations may be approved. However, at this time there is no harsh evidence to confirm that there are trains containing Nazi treasures. Existing historical records show that there are no specific documents of the train carrying valuables buried at either location. In summary, Polish authorities have acknowledged a limited but official future in search of evidence of Dziemiany’s hidden World War II bunkers, possibly tied to the legend of the Nazi gold train. This approval rekinds longstanding speculation around one of the most enduring mysteries of World War II, but to date no treasures or trains have been discovered. Historians warn that the golden train remains unconfirmed.
As the work progresses carefully, using excavations and surveys rather than full-scale excavations, the world will see if this fresh attempt can reveal what previous searches cannot. Until then, gold trains continue to exist in the realm of myths and possibilities, rather than confirming historical facts.
