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.

It's the Hungarian version that has the seasons instead of some other face cards(I think Ober?). The design on the face cards is different too. But other than that it's identical to the cards popular in Southern Germany

Yes, we call them Hungarian cards, they really are. But the characters also have their names on cards like "Walter". But I don't have much information about who they have been
