If you are novice, that most stupid way is to start (and waste time) with training. Spend some time with research - maybe you will find tesseract if already trained for Fraktur. Did you try to use deu_frak.traineddata[1]?
If you got still bad result please read wiki [2] , or post example image. There are some known[3] issues, not sure how critical it will be for you.
