Looking in the relations-080528.osm.bz2 from
http://planet.openstreetmap.org/  shows this as ID=9420

  <relation id="9420" timestamp="2008-05-26T08:57:07Z" user="raphzahn" uid="39963">
 .... lots of members
    <tag k="ref" v="Hz" />
    <tag k="rcn" v="yes" />
    <tag k="type" v="route" />
    <tag k="network" v="rcn" />
    <tag k="created_by" v="Potlatch 0.9a" />
    <tag k="route" v="bicyle" />
    <tag k="name" v="Hohenzollern-Weg" />
    <tag k="key" v="" />
  </relation>

The history shows it was deleted by user 'gomaddin':
( from http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/relation/9420/history )

  <relation id="9420" visible="false" timestamp="2008-06-07T16:53:27+01:00" user="gomaddin"/>

You could try contacting him via http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/gomaddin
