Any ideas (I mean besides the common ones....)
Also, it looks as if he might be wearing the Eisernes Halbmond.

Well, VERY blurry, but he's definitely a Bavarian. The 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Crosses are Bavarian... I think #5 is the Royal period Voluntary Nursing Service Cross, and the other two are Weimar period. #4 is Prussian Red Cross Medal 3rd Class. #6 I suspect is a Bavarian army long service medal. The last medal on the bar looks like the Christmas 1918 medal handed out by Rupprecht in the '20s for rewarding Royalists.
The cross pinned next to the Honor Cross with Swords I think may be a Weimar period FIRE department cross.
Rather strange that he got a frontline EK2 and Hindenburg Cross, but no non-Red Cross awards from Bavaria!
