Possibly Konteradmiral Werner Schönermark at an unknown barracks, date and place unknown.
He was the Chief of the Naval-Defence-Office, OKM (15 February 1943-30 April 1944) and then Chief of the Naval-Troop-Office, OKM (01 May 1944-22 July 1945).
If anyone has any additional information about the location please comment. I am not 100% sure the admiral is indeed Werner Schönermark because the quality of the photo is bad.

Mystery finally solved!

The admiral in the photo is Konteradmiral Siegfried Engel, 2nd Admiral of the North Sea (14 April 1943-19 April 1945) and NOT Werner Schönermark. The photo was taken at an unknown barracks, date unknown.
