On 24 October 1964, the German mountaineer Toni Kinshofer died in Baden-Baden following a fall at the Battert, a crag in the Black Forest near his home. In 1962, together with Siegfried Löw and Anderl Mannhardt, he made the first ascent of the Diamir face of Nanga Parbat (8,126 m), the second ascent of the mountain overall; during the descent, Löw died and Kinshofer suffered amputations due to frostbite.
