There was thick fog when the cargo ship Wiedau passed it. 17:03 the oncoming cargo ship appeared Mieczyslaw Kalinowski at the height of Wittenbergen from the fog and rammed the Wiedau the foredeck . As a result of the thrust to starboard , the Wiedau turned into the course of the Uwe and cut the barge in half. The skipper was able to save himself by jumping into the Elbe. The Wiedau capsized. Except for a crew member on the back was caught and drowned, about 16 were crew members of Wiedau save. They swam to the nearby bank of Blankenese, where they were taken care of by the residents. The Mieczyslaw Kalinowski suffered only minor damage.
