Stupid overseas ATM question!!

Ok, hopefully for you folks in Europe.....
I am going to Germany next week for a Markets tour. Folks on the Flier boards told me it was cheaper to use an ATM card for exchange to Euro's rather than to use the Canadian cash I have tucked away (we live in MT in the summer).
In finally finding an ATM card that was not expired (never use the things at home) I noted that it a VISA logo and has the Cirrus logo on the back. Looking up German and Swiss ATM locations online, it seems to indicate that the Cirrus is a MasterCard product and Plus is Visa.

Am I going to have a problem trying to use a Cirrus/Visa card in an ATM in Germany? Would hate to be stuck with no cash!!
Thanks for any input.
