On second thought, maybe the last letter of is last name is an s, Hailers. Usually, the s is written differently at the end of the word, but it looks like the mid-word long s. I'm not familiar with the name, but both sound plausible.
Technically it's not Sütterlin, which is a font created by a designer in the early 20th century, but rather Kurrent. ;-)
The part name is odd; I googled, and the only name for which one gets results is "Hailer". There are none for either "Hailert" and "Hailers", but it definitely doesn't look like "Hailer" in the writing.
ETA: The phonebook has four entries for "Hailer", a name I've also never encountered before, in and around Tübingen, so I'd say it's that and the writer was drunk.
Looking at a map of the surroundings of Tübingen, where the photography studio was, I'd suggest "Dußlingen" for the place. The writing here is a bit non-standard, but that's always the problem with those Kurrent handwrititings.

"Zur Erinnerung an Deinen Freund Oskar Hailert. [???] 15.2.96", the pencil writing says "Lehrling".
In memory of your friend Oskar Hailert. The pencil writing means "apprentice", though it's also a valid surname.
I can't make out what's before the date. It would make most sense, I guess, if it were a place.
First letter is a D, then an n, e or a u with the squiggle missing, then an h (or maybe f), and then???
