It is almost impossible to read the seals you posted here.
I found one :
Koen. Preuss. Amtsgericht Tennstedt
Original sealing stamp made of paper which was used by authorities, companies and also individuals to seal letters from around 1850 to 1945. This mark is also called a seal mark. These stamps are usually broken when the letters are torn open and are now rarely found.
If you want to date them........ well ........ good luck......
You have to type the description into the google searchbar and hope to find something.
I do not know anybody who did that before.
Maybe if it is a military unit.
I only know a link on the internet that shows 30000 seals and you can buy them if you want.
Have a look at :

At the top of the page you can switch from the german to the english language.

And another one :
Siegelmarke Magistrat der Königlichen Haupt- u. Residenzstadt Hannover
Magistrate of the royal capital and residential city of Hanover
Magistrates, also known as Justices of the Peace, are individuals from all walks of life who are passionate about making a difference in their local communities. They volunteer for at least 13 days a year, plus training, to hear a variety of cases in our courts. Magistrates sit in the Magistrates’ courts, dealing with criminal and civil proceedings, or the Family Court, or both. The role is unpaid and many magistrates are employed alongside their role.

SIGILLUM CIVITATIS HALBERSTADIENSIS is Latin for "Seal of the City of Halberstadt."
"Stadt Düsseldorf" is "City of Düsseldorf."
Some are dateable by finding them still on cover. This example was used in place of a postage stamp. It's franked with the Royal Post Office Official Seal and was sent from Schmalkalden, Prussia, to Leipzig, May 6, 1876.

This is the recipient, Ludwig Traube's wickedpedia biography:
Traube was born in Berlin, the son of a middle-class Jewish family, and studied at the universities of Munich and Greifswald. In 1883 he finished his Ph.D. with a dissertation entitled Varia libamenta critica. He finished his habilitation in classical and medieval philology in 1888 with a part of his book on Carolingian poetry (Karolingische Dichtungen).
In 1897 he became a member of the central management of Monumenta Germaniae Historica. In 1902 he was appointed professor of Latin philology of the Middle Ages at Munich. In 1905 he discovered that he had leukemia, dying from it two years later.

I have many of these. Is there any way to date them to the years of use? Obviously the usage of the Prussian seals would end early in the Weimar Republic. But the others like the city court and municipal government seals are impossible to date, at least for me. Can you help?
