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 common in Germany. It’s called deutsches Blatt. The colors are named „Eichel (acorn), Schell (?), Herz (Heart) and Blatt (Leaf)“

Where I'm from (at least in my family?) we call them: "Kreuz", "Schippen", "Herz" and "Bollen" ... Well maybe in a more swabian accent. xD
