Shortly before the end of World War II, on April 4, 1945, fighter pilot Karl Göller, originally from Wallau im Taunus, crashed his fighter plane in the "Vockenberg" forest between Kützbrunn and Zimmern. He was hit and shot down by American air defenses near Grünsfeld. Göller had been flying an attack on the Americans in his Messerschmidt ME109 fighter plane when he was hit by their anti-aircraft fire. He attempted to escape by parachuting, detaching the canopy. However, the rescue attempt was unsuccessful, and Göller crashed with the plane and suffered a fatal accident. Source: Wikipedia
