N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Does anyone recognise this collector? and can you read the location please?

The first word at the foot of the label is 'Moor', giving a clue to the last 4-letter word or syllable. Comparing with this image of German gothic handwriting suggests the latter is 'harz', the first letter being 'h', case unclear. If upper case then could read 'Dr Kurt Harz'. See message here.

I am still defeated by other words in the line.

'Moor bei Feldmoching Dr Kurt Harz' - Feldmoching has a Wikipedia entry devoted to its S-Bahn/U-Bahn station, on the Munich–Regensburg railway system.
