Cedrus is evergreen.

"Fitschen und Roloff sich eindeutig widersprechen"

I do not know these books.

But I am interested in this matter
as composing identification keys is one of my occupations.

I can follow you with Picea omorika, quite possible (colour and shine are misleading)

Also Picea abies for 3 is a good possibility
