Unknown Luftwaffe Battalion

1 Attachment(s)

Hi,
can anybody help me? I'm trying to find out which Luftwaffe Battalion is mentioned on the back of a postcard but i can't quite make it out. I think its a construction battalion ("17") but i'm not sure. The officer on the front is a certain Hauptmann Krause and the location is apparently "Reichenau" but there are approx. 20 places in Europe called Reichenau - most of them in Germany and Austria.
any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks Junker,
thats a great help! I cant find anything about this battalion either. It seems that information regarding "ersatz" units is hard to come by.
