was in the initial climb out of Leipzig's runway 26L
when the crew stopped the climb at about 5300 feet MSL
due to the cargo door opening completely,

several parts separated from the airframe
and were distributed over the ground around the Schkopau coal power plant located about 10nm west of Leipzig Airport.
The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Leipzig about 12 hours after landing back.

Germany's BFU confirmed a cargo door apparently opened in flight and dispatched investigators on site.
