Small plane crash in Schleswig-Holstein: man found in the wreckage!
In the early morning hours of June 17, 2025, a tragic incident occurred in Schleswig-Holstein. A small plane crashed over a forest near Heidmühlen in the Segeberg district, and Kiel police announced that a man's body was found in the wreckage. This incident immediately caused a stir, especially since the plane had been reported missing since Monday evening. It remains unclear whether the deceased was the pilot.
The accident apparently occurred during a flight towards Kropp in the Schleswig-Flensburg district, where there is a small airfield. The machine was discovered in a forest late on Monday evening after a marine helicopter from Cuxhaven was actively involved in the search. According to [ndr.de](https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/Klein Flugzeug-in-Heidmuehlen-im-Kreis-Segeberg-abgestuerzt,klein Flugzeug188.html), the authorities assume that the dead man is the pilot, but identification is still pending.
Investigation into the cause of the accident
The Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU) has already begun its investigation to clarify the exact circumstances and causes of the crash. According to the regulations of the BFU, every investigation is carried out in such a way that it provides information to prevent future accidents and is not aimed at determining guilt or liability.
The magnitude of this accident is not only regrettable on a human level, but also raises questions about air safety. The distance to the nearest airport, Hartenholm, where various flights are offered, makes the situation even more exciting. In conjunction with Regulation 996/2010 of the European Parliament, which regulates the investigation of accidents in civil aviation, the BFU will endeavor to provide full clarity on the incident.
Police have said they will release more information on Tuesday and the region remains tense as investigations continue. This incident has once again shown how fate in aviation can be unpredictable and how important it is to learn from such tragedies.
