On a Beyer I checked today, ground was on what I'd call the "Pin 2" position. I'm not certain of DIN/Tuchel pin numbering, but it's the equivalent of XLR pin 2.

Get a multimeter to check continuity between each pin and the mic's shell. When you hear the tell-tale beep, you'll know for sure which pin is ground.
