I don't see it. The place where it should be seems to be part of the frame. If not, why not?

    The derailleur "hangs" below the axle/quick release. The piece of frame that hangs the derailleur below the axle is called the "derailleur hanger". On aluminum/carbon frames this is a detachable/replaceable piece, on steel frames (such as yours) it is part of the frame (as it can be bent back into place).

    Just a note on the side: The bolt above the quick-release nut isn't properly tightened!

The hanger is part of the frame in this case. This is a pretty common design, though many newer frames will have the hanger as a removable part of the frame that can be replaced if damaged. In the case of your bike, if there is damage, you have to (carefully) bend it back to shape.
