German "Hearts" game?? (5 cards ea....7-K +A... tricks)?

Question

I learned a great card game in Nurnberg ~1970 but can't find rules now.

Named "Hertz" I think, but wasn't the normal Hearts game.

Cards 2-6 in each suit removed, then 5 cards dealt to each player (2 or more). Trump suit declared; the 5 tricks played; points counted.

Each game went quickly but a number of games played to declare winner.

I liked it esp. bec. it could be played quickly, & bec. was a good way to introduce concepts of tricks & trump. Any info?

Erlernte ein großes Kartenspiel in Nurnberg, 1970 aber nicht Richtlinien für es wieder finden...wurde "Hertz" (Herzen) aber nicht das normale Herzkartenspiel genannt

... 2-6 Karten in jeder Klage wurden... 5 Karten behandelt zu jedem Spieler entfernt (2 Leuten). Einer Trumpfklage wurde... 5 Tricks erklärt..Punkte zählten

Jedes kleine Spiel ging schnell aber Anzahl von Spielen gespielt.

Ich mochte es, besonders weil es schnell gespielt werden könnte, & auch, weil es eine gute Weise war....info?

Hm, that sounds kind of like a game I used to play called Mau Mau, but I played it with Bavarian playing cards.
