Well I tried to get this one but failed.

I can't read the old script but it looks like the date is 1925.

Interesting.
 
With the help of my friend Thorsten,

<>
...
9.9.1925
H. Frhr [Freiherr] v[on] Thiesen (?)
Emma Freifrau von Friesen (?)
Gräfin zu Holberg-...

Another friend say that:

It looks like >>Gräfin zu Holberg-...<< but

I think she is rather Gräfin zu Stolberg-Wernigerode.
 
rammjaeger, helping again, found this:

Otto,

I am not so familiar with the old German letters but the first word could be the location "Schlemmin" in Vorpommern.

Bingo!

The text of the history of the castle proves the correctness:

There is a Lt Frhr v. Friesen (Stephan) who survived the war with the Saxon Garde Reiter Rgmt. From the 1914 Saxon rangeliste, there was a reserve officer Lt Frhr v. Friesen from this regiment who was from Borna and I would presume it was the same chap
