Place to ID
 

Hello,
Can one of our German members identify the place where this photo was taken?
Unfortunately, I cannot post it in its entirety, because it is under copyright.
The aircraft code cannot be read, though I think that the last letter is a "W", which means that it could be an aircraft of a IV.(Erg.) Gruppe.
The topography and the specific shape of the church tower (Zwiebelturm) suggest it might be Southern Germany.

Many thanks in advance.

Chris

I assume it would be easier WITH the photo.
Sorry.

Must be near a big city since there are flats in the background.

Hello,
I don't think it is in Southern Germany thats not a typical Bavarian "Zwiebelturm"! Also the houses in the background loock more for Central or Eastern Germany.

Thats what i thought too. Particularity the sloping of the roofs of the high rising and mountainous terrain.
