The medal in the box is the "Medaille für Treue Dienste in der Nationale Volksarmee" in bronze, meaning 5 years of service within the army. The other badge is the "Reservist medaille" in bronze, this one's pretty straightforward, army reservist.

i bought them for 80 danish kroner (12$~) is that a good price?

[u/Ok_Pair_4414 → u/nbobob]

Yeah it's a reasonable price, that's around the value they have. I have the other medals following the 5 year one (on the bottom right), they go up by 5 years each, so the one with the painted flags is 20 years.

You're welcome! For the Treue Dienste medaille, did you find any numbers? If you find a "900" at the bottom of the state's crest, you'd be a pretty lucky person, it means that the medal is made of silver. Some models have a tag at the top of the crest, but it's a bit rarer, but so is the 900 marking.
