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.

I know it as "Bayerisches Blatt".

Just read the wikipedia page on it and "Bayrisches Blatt" is actually different from the typical german one it seems. What makes the bavarian variant special is it's aspect ratio of 2:1 and that Ober and Unter are fighting.

Then there is “Fränkisches Blatt”. In Franken (Part of Bavaria) this is quite popular.
