Jasta 73 was founded on 11 February 1918 at Fliegerersatz-Abteilung ("Replacement Detachment") 14, Halle, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The new squadron was first assigned to 3 Armee. The new unit flew its first combat sorties on 17 March 1918. On 21 May 1918, the Jasta moved to 1 Armee. It scored its first aerial victory while there, on 30 May 1918.
