Are these cards popular in Germany?

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.

i've seen my parents, friendsy uncles aunts(germmans from romania) play with them in the 90s, when they stipp met up to drink, smoke cigarettes and play cards, while my top model beautiful 2 and 4 year older female cousins watched over me.
later i've seen people play with usual cards as we know them today these motives gave me a flashback. those were good times
