Imperial ribbon war on later photo

Can anyone tell me which awards I am seeing here? This is from the jacket of a serviceman called up for service in WW2.

[J. Adam]

that would be a corret assessment. It looks like a WW1 Ek1 followed by 2 awards one of which is not suprisingly a Hindenburg medal. The third looks to be a TR civil long service award

1914 Iron Cross, 2nd Cl
Possible Bavarian MVK . . . light colors and I see faint swords??
Hindenburg Cross, w/ swds
Long Service - Civil Service device
Possible Hungarian or Bulgarian WW1 service award

I'm with Dave-except the Bulgarian and Hungarians often sported swords devices-my guess is a Bavarian LS medal. The ribbon was light blue and white.

Wow, thanks everybody for the kind help!

The fourth award on his Spange has a little EK, how is this called in German? Is there any good guess to what the last order might be?

What is the Hindenburgkreuz exactly, for what was this awarded?

[McCulloh]

The 4th award is the Nazi state long service medal-meaning your man was a bureaucrat of some sort post war. See the ribbon bar article for more information.
I think I see here:
Iron cross 2nd class/bavarian military merit cross 3rd class/Hindenburg cross with swords/ state long service award/ bavarian long service (note the old state awards were supposed to be converted to Wehrmacht 1936 long service awards-but sometimes they were not)- in other words your guy was born @ 1898-served in combat in WW1 probably as a Bavarian grunt, worked as a postman or some such after the war and then got recalled as some sort of NCO (probably) or Lt. d R. .
