I have a small amount of additional information:

The mam's name was Johann Völker, and he was born in Flensburg.

The U 16 search of the Swedish bark Jonstrop happened on October 1, 1915. (There are two Jonstrops in the 1914/15 Lloyd's Register, so I'm not sure exactly which one it was.) Völker's rank is given as U-Matrose and Kriegslotse (war pilot).

When U 44 is sunk, is rank was U-Steuermann der Reserve and Kriegslotse

Hope this helps,
Michael
