still no evidence? Fine, than stop lying.
So you've been waiting for the provision of sources ever since? Patient boy/girl, but you could've asked earlier...

There you go:
- http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamek_w_Kórniku
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kórnik_Library
- http://www.zamkipolskie.com/korni/korni.html
- http://zamki.res.pl/kornik.htm
- http://eksploratorzy.com.pl/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1252

Update: I need to correct myself, as it wasn't only the library, the entire castle was robbed.

Quote from one of the above sources (Google-translated):

"At the end of the war the Nazis fleeing in panic, some exhibits from Kórnik deported to the Reich, some of them destroyed, and the rest left in the general mess: [...] The interior of the castle after fleeing the Germans represented an amazing picture of destruction. Everywhere heaps of smashed furniture and relics, the remains of the broken crates, glass and porcelain, of loose parchment documents, scattered books, coins, and all papers, overturned furniture and parts thereof, broken and damaged doors, seats [...]."

And also a more general source on the Nazi art plunder in Poland: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_plunder#Poland

Nope. Neuschwanstein is only one of the largest in Germany. The Mannheim Residence Castle tops it by far.

On a global scale, the Forbidden City in Beijing is often quoted as the largest palace. When it comes to the largest castle in one piece, Versailles takes the pole.
