The CRESST-II-Experiment (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) aims at the direct detection of Dark Matter in the form of WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) by means of low-temperature detectors. This thesis deals with the analysis of 410 kgd raw data, recorded with the CRESST-II-Experiment. The analysis results in the observation of 79 events, 72 of these could potentially be caused by WIMPs. Evaluating this observation, estimates of residual background have to be considered. A full explanation of the observed events with background is improbable, but can presently not be excluded.
