The twin engine aircraft departed Münster-Osnabrück Airport on a flight to Dresden, carrying four passengers and one pilot. On approach to Dresden-Klotzsche Airport by night, the pilot failed to realize his altitude was too low when the aircraft struck the chimney of a bungalow and crashed in a field located in Grossnaundorf, 13 km northeast of runway 22 threshold, bursting into flames. All five occupants were killed, among them Dietman Richert.
