What rank are these shoulder board insignias?

On the Schipperfabrik site,there are the German shoulder board insignias and Im curious what rank they represent.

Check this web page:
http://www.worldwar1.com/sfgrank.htm

According to this site, German officer rank was indicated by a combination of one of three series of shoulder board types (company officers, staff officers, general officers) with 0, 1 or 2 pips. So one pip would be an Oberleutnant, Oberstleutnant or Generalleutnant, depending on the style of shoulder board.
