"Köln" crashed into the north eastern slope of the Weißer Stein mountains in Odenwald. Aircraft struck mountain at an altitude of 450 metres (1,476 feet).
No mechanical errors were detected during the investigation of the aircraft accident. The crash site was off the aircraft's planned course. The radio measurements carried out in Mannheim were too inaccurate. Most likely that the pilot was flying in the valley between the Melibokus and the White Stone, as they began to descend. Because of the bad view they did not see that they were flying directly to the 548 meter Hohenweiß mountain at 450 metres
Of the twelve persons on board, two passengers (Duisberger, Egeli) survived seriously injured, but the other ten (crew of three (Günther, Thaler, Wagner) plus seven passengers) were killed.
