Casually surfing the web and checking for weather probes, I found out that there was a DFM-09 probe (17053008) currently flying from Calw to Stuttgart. The predicted landing zone was 15 minutes away by car. I got my stuff and was off.
Radiosondy.info lost the signal at 10:22pm. I reacquired the signal at 10:33 pm and realized that the probe was lying in a field nearby:

Stumbling across the brushwood I found the probe almost exactly on the received GPS position. Following the thread, I was also able to locate the parachute. Unlike previously launched DFM-09s at Calw, this one had a parachute. Unfortunately, I lost my radio in the process, and could not make out its whereabouts. It was only on the next morning at daylight that I was able to locate and recover the radio.
