If I see correctly, looks like a name of horse race event hosted in Düsseldorf on the 17th of November 1937.
Name of the horse: Blumengöttin.

Although on the web page for Düsseldorf, this event from 1937 is not mentioned...

I agree with GregSingh.
The word after "Horst Wessel " seems to be "Ausgl." , which would stand for "Ausgleich".
Source: ebay, where a postcard of the same picture was for sale.
