The second weapon is the so-called Luftfaust in caliber 20mm, I also found two photos, but one of them is more of a prototype than a serial version of the mobile version.

In the source below is a photograph of one of the prototypes, which did not have a covered position of the shooter and was mounted on a 4-arm pedestal. The second photo shows the rocket launcher and the third photo shows the rocket launcher with an additionally mounted signal rocket (on the added guide rail on the top of the rocket basket). There is also one photo of the fired salvo.

Hand-Föhn
It was a project of an individual anti-aircraft weapon, which consisted of three interconnected thin-walled pipes from a 35-shot so-called Föhn-Gerät. From these three missiles, a salvo fired 7,3 Raketensprenggranaten 4609. The projectile weighed 3200 g, of which 280 g was the weight of the explosive, its length was 330 mm. The muzzle velocity was a maximum of 360 m/s and a maximum range of 4500 meters. The effective range was 800 to 1200 meters. The manufacturer of the missiles was Schneider A.-G.
The project never reached the stage of mass production.
