Thank you, John...

Who is the Ritterkreuzträger at far right (background) in this photo, showing the Ritterkreuz award ceremony for Oberstleutnant i.G. Bern von Baer? Maybe he came from 16. Panzer-Division just like von Baer?

In case it helps with the identification, here is another picture of the same ceremony, with two other un-named RKTs (source: Norwegian website)

It looks very like Erwin Engelbrecht, but the decorations don't match.

Poor quality, sorry!
Any ideas?
Maybe a Kampfflieger-Beobachter (observer).

The general is General der Artillerie Erwin Engelbrecht (note the Finn. Freiheitskreuz around the neck and the Hohenzollern Orden on his ribbon bar).
