In 1919 he and his wife Käthe (nee Peipers) acquired Rotenberg Castle , which he rebuilt by 1922. He showed himself to the Rotenberg citizens very generously and made various infrastructure projects possible, including a. he largely financed the new construction of Schlossstrasse and Obere Schlossstrasse from 1921 to 1923. The gratitude of the people of Rotenberg is expressed to this day in the memorial stone for the road construction (which was set up in the second bend opposite the castle): “ This path was built in 1921/22 under Mayor Menges of the community of Rotenberg and the lord of the castle, Excellency von Reichenau, through the water - and road construction authority Sinsheim built. “The street between the Hofäckern and Schloßstraße, which apparently leads directly to the castle, is called“ Von-Reichenau-Straße ”.
