Could somebody help me with this?

Geschütz vor...?

Well, that looks like a name of a place/building, etc.
Any hints from the photo?

Below that Obergefreiter and his surname.

"Geschütz vor Kalinin{grad]" In my opinion.

Difficult to say if it's "Kalinin" or not, but if it is why would it be an abbreviation of "Kaliningrad"?

What I read:
Geschieße vor Kalinin
Obgfr. Weise
[I think it is "ß" and not "tz", as the "t" would have to look a bit shorter, and the "z" a bit longer]

Good objection, Ken, I guess because I wasn´t familiar with this former name of the city Twer.
Regarding "Geschieße" vs. "Geschütze", what does the front side of this photo present? guns/cannons or an active shooting/battle?
