Hi Norbert,
first word looks like "Greifshausen".
Only an idea. Not a good readable scan.

The first part might be 'Erichs.....'

It's possible to get an better scan? IMHO the last letters could be "...ichelmann", the first must be an "E..." but the other ar not so good to read.

The letter that looks like a 'f' is the Suetterlin version of 'h' hence why I believe the first part is Erichs.
See the Suetterlin alphabet here to see an example...

I know the Sütterlin alphabet and I agree with you that's an "h" ... but I'm not sure thats an "s" after the "h, would be untypical - have an look on your link

First, thanks for all the input so far. I came up with E.ichelmann as well. But the second and I'm not sure third letter escape me. Attached is I hope a better scan.
