The medal bar itself is 100% original.
Can you post close-ups of the last 2 medals?
Kind regards

I think they are both some kind of unofficial sports medals. The inscription on the reverse of the last medal reads "Hurray! The winner".
Kind regards

The last two medals are not sports medals.
"Hurrah! Dem Sieger" is "Hurray! To the victor." The obverse shows Field Marshal Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria. So this would appear to be some sort of token/medallion in honor of Bavaria's greatest general.
"Großes Erleben macht ehrfürchtig und im Herzen fest" is a quote from a speech by Kaiser Wilhelm II on the 1st anniversary of the beginning of the war. It means something like "great experiences make one reverent and hard-hearted". Or true-hearted. Or something along those lines. The speech can be found here: http://www.stahlgewitter.com/15_07_31.htm
Googling this, I see that this medal is described as the Ehrenzeichen 2. Klasse of the Stiftung "Eisenbahn Töchterhort", or the Decoration 2nd Class of the Foundation "Railway Daughters _____", a foundation to care for the unwed daughters of deceased railway workers.
Neither medal/token belongs on the medal bar.
For the Bavarian Long Service Medals, I would guess you would want a 3rd Class for 9 Year's Service and a 2nd Class for 12 Years. You can see them here:

Any longer service and I would question the Military Merit Cross 3rd Class, since that grade went to Mannschaften (Gefreiter and below).Comment
