Right; I'll fill in the blanks again:

• Group 1 (sixth medal on the bar): Медаль за участие в Европейской войне [War Commemorative Medal]; i.e. the Bulgarian commemorative medal for WWI. This one is on the ribbon for combatants. (The ribbon has faded badly; compare to the example in group # 2.)

• Group 2 (fifth medal on the bar): Медаль за участие в Европейской войне [War Commemorative Medal]; i.e. the Bulgarian commemorative medal for WWI; it's on the ribbon for combatants.
• Group 2 (sixth medal on the bar): Kriegserinnerungszeichen des Bayerischen Landesvereins vom Roten Kreuz [War Commemorative Badge of the Bavarian State Association of the Red Cross]. This one has the ribbon for Heimatverdienst [meritorious service in the homeland] as identified by the silver stripes, whereas the ribbon for Kriegsverdienst [meritorious service in the field and rear areas] had additional black stripes.

• Group 3 (first medal on the bar): Silberne Militärverdienstmedaille [Silber Medal of Military Merit], aka Silberne Württembergische Tapferkeitsmedaille [Silver Wurttembergian Bravery Medal].

• Group 4 (fourth medal on the bar): Jubiläumsmedaille für die Armee [Jubilee Medal for the Army]; a Bavarian decoration
• Group 4 (fifth medal on the bar): Dienstauszeichnung 1. Klasse für 15 Jahre [Service Award for 15 years]; again, Bavarian.

• Group 6 (fourth medal on the bar): An unofficial award; the commemorative medal for the 100th anniversary of the 14. Bayerisches Infanterie-Regiment "Hartmann" [14th Bavarian Infantry Regiment "Hartmann"] in 1914.

• Group 7 (fourth medal on the bar): Verwundetenmedaille [Medal for the Wounded]; an Austro-Hungarian decoration. This one is for a soldier who was wounded once (as identified by the single red center stripe of the ribbon).
• Group 7 (sixth medal on the bar): Allgemeines Kärntner Kreuz für Tapferkeit 2. Klasse [General Carinthian Cross for Bravery, 2nd Class].

- WW1 Honour Cross,
- 25 year civil medal.
- Imperial German Prussia landwehr army long service medal
- Prussian 1897 Kaiser Wilhelm Centennial Medal.(Zentenarmedaille). This medal was created in 1897 by Kaiser Wilhelm II to honour his grandfather’s (Kaiser Wilhelm I) 100th anniversary of his birth (1797-1897). Germany’s first Kaiser lived from 1797 until 1888.

I think these medal bars do look impressive

The fourth medal in Group 1 is the Medalla de la Campaña Española 1936-1939 [Medal for the Campaign of 1936−1939], i.e. the Spanish medal for the Falangist Forces in the Spanish Civil war; also awarded to personnel of the German Legion Condor and the Italian Corpo Truppe Volontarie.

Although it depicts the famous Kyffhäuser memorial, the single medal of Group 7 is not from the Kyffhäuserbund, but from the Preußischer Landeskriegerverband [Prussian State Veterans' Association]: It is the Kriegervereins-Ehrenkreuz II. Klasse [Veterans Associations' Cross of Honor 2nd Class].
