Translation Request - German

[genealogygirlais]

I was sent an old album from a relative.  This photo had detached at some point from its glued down spot in the book and has a note written in German.  My mom (who speaks/writes some German) wasn’t able to translate it.
Hoping someone can assist!

Thank you.

Pity about the glue stains. I tried my best to read and/or guess the text. Hopefully others can add some more.

Can you read (on the original picture) what's on the shield in front? It becomes blurry when magnified on the scan.

I'm going to see if I can gently remove some more of the black from the back of the photo.  I looked at the plaque on the front with a magnifying but it's still quite blurry. I'll see if I can scan at a higher resolution.  I'm gathering it's the photographer's information?

Thank you for the translations!

I tried to do a close up.  Not sure how much better it is.

If it's the family I think it is, it could be Michael Peiser born 1875 in Krefeld, Germany in the middle (their father?).  I haven't found much on him.  I'm descended from his older brother Peter Carl Peiser born 1865 and his wife Elisabeth Krucken.

[genealogygirlais]

Side by side of the two I suspect are brothers.

The magnification shows Andenken an Creutzwold (or Creutzwald). (translated: souvenir of)
This refers to the city of Creutzwald in eastern France, and lies adjacent to Falck, the missing town in the text at the back of your picture.

Thank you!  Gives me a location to do some additional research!!
