I grew up in Germany and was taught handwriting there, and I get the same feeling as in seeing the relationship, but being entirely unable to read it.

This is what is taught in german schools: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schreibschrift#/media/Datei:De...

Oh wow, I had the exact image you linked photocopied and glued to the first page of my German folder. Has been ages since I saw this, thanks!

Even the lower-case x like that?

I was taught lower case x starts at top left, does the arc to bottom left, then goes to top right, arc to bottom right, all in one stroke.

The upper case X didn't have a horizontal line in my case, otherwise it's all pretty much the same as this 1941 doc.

Probably not, at least in my case it is just some lower left to top right line, then the crossing line starting from the top left
