Amber - a city-type settlement, the center of the Amber city district in the Kaliningrad region. Until 1946, it was called Palmnicken, and one of the districts of the village was a separate settlement of Kraxtepellen - both from the 17th century, they were famous for the extraction of amber, which was conducted by hand. Today, here is the only amber plant in the world, extracting and processing amber in an industrial way.

In the 19th century, industrial extraction and processing of amber by the company "Shtantin und Becker" began here. Maurice Becker and Wilhelm Shtantien significantly influenced the fate of the settlement - by opening the mines "Anna" and "Henrietta", they not only made Palmnik an industrial center, but also gave impetus to the tourist development of the area. For the needs of industry and tourism, in the 19th century a railway from Fischgauzen was laid here.

Since 2009, as part of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Amber Room, the Amber Semifinal of the Amber World Cup is held every year in Amber. The winners depart for the final, which takes place on the Polish part of the Baltic Spit.
