Iron cross 1st
Iron cross 2nd
mentioned in dispatches
U-boat war badge

AFAIK The Order of the Black Eagle was awarded to royalty and, occasionally, very high-ranking officers, so I'm not sure that would apply to a U-boat commander. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Black_Eagle

There was a Pour le Mérite with oakleaves, but apparently not even Baron von Richthofen qualified for this award, and only generals and such appeared to be eligible.

There was also a Grand Cross of the Iron Cross, but it was also reserved for the most senior generals: only 5 were awarded during World War I, to the Kaiser, Hindenberg, Ludendorff, Mackensen, and Prince Leopold of Bavaria.

Maybe this order, with more detailed information on different grades of these medals at these links:

Order of the Red Eagle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Red_Eagle
Pour le Mérite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pour_le_M%C3%A9rite
Royal House Order of Hohenzollern: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_O...f_Hohenzollern
Iron Cross, 1st Class
Iron Cross, 2nd Class

That's all I can think of for now.
