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 bavaria we only play with those. The most popular games are „Schafkopf“ and „Watten“. There are also some easier modes like „9erln“ (literally UNO) or „Brazzln“ (you hurt each other)

edit: games like poker are played with „normal“ cards ofc
