A police spokesman was unable to say how many people had died in the crash of a Cessna Citation 550 near the Czech border.
The business plane can normally carry up to eight people, according to a German air safety agency spokesman, who said the Cessna had taken off from Prague in the Czech Republic heading for Karlstadt in western Sweden.
Radio contact was broken off at 8:20 pm (1920 GMT) when the plane was 36 kilometres (23 miles) southeast of Dresden.
