The article is a little weird IMHO. It's not like Germans are paying their rent or buying cars in cash - it's day to day things.
Also, it's not clear to me - do they count debit transactions as "cash"? IIRC you could go to a supermarket and use a card but those may have been debit - it's hard to tell with chip and pin.
I think a lot of people in America do the same thing - withdraw cash for bars, coffees, etc rather than swipe a credit card for every little thing.
