Question of german railway uniform

I purchased this German railway uniform (1988–1994 version) for 120,000 KRW (approximately 82 USD).

However, I am curious about the rank indicated by the shoulder boards: Reichsbahn-Obersekretär (Ranggruppe II), translated as Railway Chief Secretary (2nd Rank Group). I would like to know what level of position or status this rank held within the railway administration.

In addition, there is a visible trace on the shirt, approximately 10 cm in length, where a ribbon bar appears to have been removed. From a historical accuracy standpoint, which decorations or ribbon bars would be appropriate for this uniform?
