As the commander of the minesweeper M 293, Tägert came from Copenhagen to Aarhus on April 30, 1945 . Accompanied by two submarines, the boat - for unknown reasons - left again on the same evening. On the morning of May 1st, it reached a port on the island of Anholt . Shortly after midnight it left again, "northward". 30 Royal Air Force aircraft attacked the boat between 7 and 8 a.m. and sank it. The majority of the crew and the commanding officer drowned six days before the Wehrmacht's unconditional surrender . Tägert's body was found by Swedish fishermen and buried in Gothenburg .

Hans Welzel , dean of the law and political science faculty in Göttingen , paid tribute to Tägert in the faculty meeting on January 7, 1946. Ernst von Caemmerer , also in command of a mine sweeper, told Tägert's widow in 1946 about the encounter with Tägert in Copenhagen. Tägert's father, Rear Admiral Carl Tägert , outlived his son, who was almost 37 years old, by a year.
