Is there something like an "H" chord in guitar tablature written by German speakers?If so, what does it mean?

A classmate of mine was just asking me about a notation that he saw in guitar tablature created by German speakers that looked like an "H" chord. I've never heard of anything like that. Even though I play the guitar well, I haven't played much music written for the German-speaking audience. What could my classmate have been referring to?

    Here is something I found on a site giving instructions for beginning accordion players: "The exception is that (German) B is (English) B flat, and (German) H is (English) B."

    I was originally going to suggest that perhaps the difference came about to disambiguate the German ess-set from "B", but the explanation provided on this website is a little different.

    The real question is why did the Deutsch feel the need to rename our perfectly good B flat to B and our perfectly good B to H? Crazy Germans. ;)

    Jesus never commanded that anything be written down. He did command us to Love God and Love our neighbor. The Bible Alone doctrine is a man made doctrine, not found in the Bible. Go Figure. The Bible does teach: 1 Cor 11:2 hold fast to traditions I handed on to you. 2 Thes 2:15 hold fast to traditions, whether oral or by letter 2 Thes 3:6 shun those not acting according to tradition Jn 21:25 not everything Jesus said recorded in Scripture 2 Peter 1:20 no prophesy is a matter of private interpretation Rom 10:17 Faith comes from what is heard. Mt 16:19 Peter given you keys of the kingdom; power to loose or to bind Jn 21:17 Peter given Christ's flock as chief shepherd Acts 15:19 Peter pronounces first dogmatic decision Gal 1:18 after conversion St Paul visits chief Apostle Acts 1:13-26 Peter heads the election of Mathias as Apostle Finally Eph 2:20 Church IS built on the foundation of the Apostles.

    I'm not so firm at music but I know the German H is an English B (the other notes are unchanged). So a German "H" chord should be a "B" chord.
