There is lots to say, but a lot of photos.

Take #2 for example-typical WW1 Landsers, probably in Russia @ Summer, 1917. Note the "Happy House/Villa Lustig" 7/1917 on the back wall. Given their age and the jr. NCO in the front and lack of boots-probably a work detail. You can not see any regimental i.d..
The most interesting and unusual one is the navy HJ boy, #6.

thanks for ur first help on this, i allways read "VILLA LUFTIG" 1912 (villa bellair) and i tought "SOLEC" was in poland.
if anyone wants a closer look at some details .. let me know.. i will scan it in higher resolution.

Number 1 and 6 are the same guy, but their might be some years between them. Notice on #6 the badge on his shoulder.. "MITTE SACHSEN" (midle saxonia) i always wonder about this.. coz "Sachsen" is in middle-east germany and has only the river ELBE nearby. So why is he wearing a marineuniform with this Sachsen badge? Or is this badge on every uniform? Im not an expert on this..

can anyone help me with photo #3
what rank is this guy in and is he a luftwaffesoldier?

thanks for ur help

No-you are right, it's probably Poland and i'd bet they are members of a Landwehr or Ersatz unit there. The Luftig ("Bellair) makes it even funnier-nice hotel.

The Luftwaffe man is a mere private.

some things to note as i looked at the pics.
1) this man was a pioneer judging by the piping on his uniform(black..) probably taken near the end of the
war,with the ls slip-ons on his shoulderboards
3)the luftwaffe man was probably a rear area guard of some sort as shown by the lack of a second set of cartridge pouches on his belt( and the older rifle he has been issued..)
