The signature on the envelope looks like, "Lauch" to me. I hope this is some help.

Hello

I would read Lorenzen. Might it be Bernhard Lorenzen ? Anyway, Ralf, you should ask for the ID of what it seems to be a FPN on the back of the enveloppe. This should ease a lot !!

It seems you are on the wrong track. The first letter is the last name is NOT and L, it is a B! In Sütterlin the B looks like an L.
I would read something like Baade, possibly Bauch. Hard to say as it looks different on the two pics.

Cheers, Frank

Yep, BAADE it is. This is the result of typing BAADE with a Sütterlin font in Word. Don´t ask me where I got that font from, I can´t remember.

Cheers, Frank

Yes, on the second pic the initials are indeed E.G.
