The Lilienwald air disaster was a mid-air collision accident between two passenger planes of Interflug and DAT over Lilienburg at night on 14 August 1979. Interflug Flight 661, a Be-182 en route from Lannbrück, Mascylla, to Rakonitz, Krumlau, and Dulebian Air Transport Flight 21, a Be-202 en route from Ulich, Dulebia, to Königsreh, Mascylla, collided mid-flight over the borough of Lilienwald-Sigismund in Lilienburg and the border town of Rudolfszell in Mascylla. The crash killed all 281 people on board of both planes, leaving no survivors and making it the world's deadliest mid-flight collision and the worst aviation accident to occur in Lilienburg.
