        Interesting photo. The first award on the ribbon bar looks to me like an Iron Cross 2nd Class on the non-combatant ribbon.

          The German text on the back of the card:

          Zur freundlichen Erinnerung an hübsche gemeinsam verlebte Stunden am 22.11.17

          Fritz und Miezi Schellenberg

          Münster i(n) W.(estfalen) Febr.(uar) 1918

            Andy, your closeup guy has the EK2 for non-combat, Red Eagle Order 4th Class, what looks like a Crown Order 3rd Class, possibly a long service cross, an 1897 Centenary Medal and something possibly from Waldeck at the end of the bar. I can't figure out what the order is below the bar.

                I agree with VtwinVince’s read of the medal bar.

                With regard to the decoration below the bar, I am inclined to think in terms of possibly Hessen-Darmstadt (Ehrenkreuz mit Krone).

                  I think it is not a long service cross, I see the small long service medal for the Landwehr.

                    Taking another look... are there two crosses after the Centenary medal? One plain, right after the Centenary medal, and then an enameled one on the end?

                      Good eye, Wild Card, definitely two crosses at the end, maybe a Saxon AEZ with swords or something from Wuerttemberg? And it is for sure a Landwehr Dienstauszeichnung after the KO.
