Regionally, some Germans measure time like this, i.e. "half two" is 01:30 resp. 13:30.

This isn't regional nor "some", I never met a German wo doesn't. Sure, there is "13 o'clock 30" and both are valid but I'd say the default is still the half system.

When it comes to quarters, there are regional differences and it's a common "ice breaker" or small talk topic when people from all over Germany come together.

I am dumb. I confused this with dreiviertel vs. Viertel vor.
