Bought them myself at the store (phisical stores), at a Media Markt (according to FAQ, it is an official saler)

Make sure you're typing the code in correctly, wait a few hours and try again, and if it still doesn't work you should contact Steam Support and the retailer you bought it from.

Do you have a receipt from them that shows the card/paper voucher has been activated and authenticated on their POS/till system?

When you buy a Steam wallet code from retail, as well as the card or paper with the code on; you should also have a receipt from the shop showing that they have activated the code on their till. Is your code on a paper-based receipt or as a Steam gift card?

Its as a steam-gift card, made of carton, like the ones on the pic, so I doubt that the issue you provided apply here.

ALSO, My bad if that sounded rude, my apologies

You should also have an accompanying paper-based receipt showing that the retailer activated the card on their till. This is a countermeasure against internal fraud and theft. If they haven't activated the card; it will not work when redeeming on Steam. You may need to visit the shop again if they cannot prove they have activated it as this will need to be done for it to work.
