Failed to start appium: TypeError

When i try to start an appium session i always get the following Error:

error: Unhandled error: TypeError: Path must be a string. Received null
    at assertPath (path.js:9:11)
    at Object.posix.resolve (path.js:427:5)

Here is my Java code:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("appium-version", "1.0");
        capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "Appium");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "5.1");
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "device");
        capabilities.setCapability("app", "/Users/user/Documents/app.apk");
        capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "package");
        WebDriver wd = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
        wd.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        wd.close();

I am starting the appium server only with the port 4444. I cant find a solution to this error.
