To be honest, as a Romanian, I have never heard this story. Then again, I grew up in the capital, so I wouldn't hear many such stories, which are tipically told in rural settings, and are rarely written down. However, if I am to analise this from a literary standpoint, I am 70% sure it has Romanian origins. I am not saying that Germany doesn't have it's own version, because it does, but this specific creepypasta, aside from the Romanian names, also has the specific format and speech pattern of old Romanian fairy tales, which is why you would find it weird (just like translations of endlish poems and stories seem weird to us).
