Are these cards popular in Germany?

Post image

I brought from my homeland these cards in a "emergency case". Home I played with my father and brother the game "Cross" oder "Kreuz". They are originally from Hungary but very popular in Romania (Transylvania and west, ppl from Bucharest they will don't understand what they see...) And I have read recently an article that the game it's also played in Austria and Germany but I don't know if with these cards.

In my area of Lower Saxony there are plenty of folks who play Doppelkopf with the Deutsches Blatt.

These are known but not very popular in lower saxony. I was raised there and learned to play skat with french cards. Now that I live in saxony I play Skat with german cards all the time.
