Will Swiss power adapter plug work in Germany?

I'm traveling to Germany tomorrow and realized this morning I didn't look into what I need for a power adapter (need to charge cell phone, iPad, etc.). I have one from a trip to Switzerland a few years ago and read online that it might work? Does anyone know for sure?

Business trip, but will have to drive right thru Stuttgart. I might need to talk my colleagues in a trip to the Porsche museum.

Thanks, Holger! The adapter I have is a two-prong (19mm spacing) with the rounded sides - not angled. It doesn't seem to be clear whether that one will work or not...

Coincidentally, I collaborate often with some guys in Lund (ESS). A colleague was over here in the US a couple of weeks ago. He lives in Kristianstad and gave me a hat from their handball team?

You mean Typ F?

I think you will not have any problem with Typ C or Typ F.
Typ F is even more compatible as it fits the outlets with grounding. Typ C will not fit those outlets.

Switzerland Typ J:


German Typ F:

German Typ F fits Typ C

Kristianstads Handboll are a really good team:
Sveriges häftigaste handbollsklubb | IFK Kristianstad Skåne
Third place in the ranking at the moment.

I visited a friend in Malmö near Lund some weeks ago when I was in Sweden with my son visiting my father. That friend is deep into Innebandy (floorball) http://floorballtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pixbo-aik.jpg and is really angry at the handboll-players because they use glue on the hands for better grip. That glue of course sticks to the ground when the ball is bounced. The floorball team has to scrap/clean the floor several times a year to be able to play.

Just one more thing.
This one is the most universal for Germany:

It fits the grounded and ungrounded outlets.

Thanks again! My administrative assistant is from Germany and she is pretty confident that the Swiss adapter I have will work.
