I found a booklet with, among others, these 12 postcards,
They are undescribed and by Woldemar Klein Verlag.
What is the value of a set like this?

If these postcards are not yet in the catalog, please enter them. Then perhaps someone can add a catalog value to the cards.

I see that you have entered one of the cards into the catalog. It is difficult to determine its value, because it actually has no real value. You can often buy this type of postcard in thrift stores for small amounts. I also cannot imagine that there are many people who enthusiastically collect this specific type of postcard. And if there is no or too little demand, the value is nil or very low.
Strangely enough, various similar cards are for sale on eBay for about 17 dollars. Those sellers are looking for that one crazy person willing to pay such a high amount. The question is, however, whether that crazy person exists.

[Edit]
To explain it a bit better: the card lacks something unique. Postcards of the mosaics of Ravenna have been published by various firms; Woldemar Klein usually publishes books. Therefore, there will presumably be few or no collectors of the postcards published by this firm.
Perhaps you could sell such a card for an amount between 1 and 2 euros. A higher amount does not seem realistic to me.

To give an example of a more expensive card: a long time ago, I offered a postcard on the internet for 0.50 Euro. I thought the card had little value, because it was black and white and a multi-panel design. However, many bids came in quite quickly. Eventually, the card fetched 9 Euro.
What became apparent? The card featured a car, which is almost never found on a postcard. Additionally, only one other card of the depicted street was known. This excited several people from different target groups. That translates into a higher price.
