The twin engine aircraft was performing a flight within Germany and left Berlin in the day with a pilot, a radio operator and a passenger on board. En route, it seems the crew encountered marginal weather conditions and following an unknown technical failure, the pilot lost control of the aircraft that crashed in Mühlberg an der Elbe. All three occupants were killed, among them Baron Carl August Freiherr von Gablenz, founder of the Deutsche Lufthansa.
