Provisional Reichswehr

Many, many thanks!
That confirms my suspicions - General der Infanterie Konstantin Schmidt von Knobelsdorf commanding X. Armeekorps. Just need to work on the general staffers.

3 from left looks to have about 20 battle honors on the 1870/ 71 K D M streamer

I found an article in the “Hannoverscher Kurier” of 27 June 1919 describing this event. Unfortunately it gives no names of participants. The occasion was the 26 June 1919 transportation of the colours and standards of the X Army Corps being taken from the headquarters building of X Corps to the railway station for onward delivery to Berlin (presumably the Zeughaus). Interestlingly, the officers are still wearing the blue Friedensheer insignia which was replaced by the pattern worn by General Albrecht (above) the previous month. Clearly, the prevailing times and supply situation did not make for an easy transition.

It seems that there is an error in the Bulgarian Fahnenfilder album and that this flag belongs to the III Batasllon, according to Unsterbliche Treue.

Excellent information
A lot of old colors in the 1980's were on display at Rastatt
Later all were moved to the DHM
I last saw the I R 92 and H R 17 flags on dispaly in what
looked like an old church

The first flag on the left and the fourth one are from the Oldenburgischen Infanterie Regiments Nr. 91 (I, II or III Bataillons)
The first three battalions had the same flag design

Thanks
I should have remembered those 2 regiments as part of A K X
I think that back in the 90 's ; maybe 1992 ? Kube had an auction
sale with nothing but flags ; flag poles ; unit rings ; streamers and pole tops
I think that one of the flags
was from Anhalt ?
I got some of the items

Steve, it looks like the straps are the general Reichswehr double knotted corded style.

@Glennj here is one for you! The Officer at left-center looks to have early 1919 Major's sleeve insignia.
Interesting photo. To the left of that Major is an American Major or Lieutenant Colonel. The 5. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß Officer at the right seems to have an armband that reads "Durchgangslager" and some other writing. Perhaps the soldiers at the right were recently released prisoners of war.
