As said above, I know these signs but I wonder if they are official.

In Germany they are not and the have no judicial effect. You will always
have to take care of pedestrians especially on a small way with mixed
use. Maybe you might even have to stop or dismount. But if you are
really only allowed to push you bicycle a bicycle=no or vehicle=no is
needed.

Router can work with footways or pathes and even steps and you do not
need bicycle=dismount.
