Hi LAstry,
the short inscription on the back of the photo was written in the then still common "Sütterlinschrift".
Growing up in the late 1950s, we children were not teached "Sütterlin" anymore.
Sütterlinschrift: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sütterlinschrift

(Btw, a very nice website for a first start, G/E/F...)
Happy learning..!
