His 1918 ranklist entry has:

Prussia: plM
Prussia: Crown Order 4th Class (prewar)
Prussia: House Order of Hohenzollern, Knight's Cross with Swords (23.9.16)
Prussia: Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class

Besides this, as you can see from the picture at ABR, he has the Friedrich August Cross 1st Class from Oldenburg below his EK1. The Friedrich August Cross 2nd Class was a prerequisite for the 1st Class, so add that as well (it is the 5th or 6th of the seven ribbons on the ribbon bar).

The ribbon bar in the pic is:

1. the Iron Cross 2nd Class
2. the House Order of Hohenzollern
3. the Crown Order
4. an officer's long service cross
5. maybe the Friedrich August Cross
6. or maybe this one (it's too fuzzy to tell
7. ? (maybe an Austro-Hungarian Military Merit Cross)
