Hey, gargoylecollector. :-)
Google Lens turned up more than one twin of that first, but as it sometimes happens, I get different results between my Android and Windows devices. Sometimes that's helpful, sometimes not so much. >8-)
I'll give ya a link for this one:

Allemagne / 3 iem Reich - WHW Eugendenkmal Wie Prince Eugene 1942 ( 028)
*snip*
https://nuggetsfactory.com/allemagne/4076-wwii-allemagne-association-des-anciens-combattants-epingle-de-cravate-001-27.html
It's a representation of a monument to Prince Eugene in Vienna (hence the "Wien" in the upper left corner of yours):

That "WHW" abbreviation is for Winterhilfswerkes:

The second one looks like it might be a representation of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna:

Those last two look like this one (Berg Isel Monument):

Hey again, gargoylecollector. :-)
If you want to convert that Winterhilfswerkes PDF, and make an English version, you can do it with this free tool:

All of your glass monuments are in there.
