    Fensterzeile

    This is the return address line that appears (at least in German letters) at the top of the envelope window when the letter is folded and inserted correctly.

    See example: https://marketingportal.extranet.deutschebahn...

    The line that appears under the DB logo.

    Also known as an Absender-Fensterzeile, but in this case I need a word or two as an equivalent to just the Fensterzeile part.

    Thanks!

    Thanks, I did see that before I posted but I'm not convinced the responder understood the question! Seems doubtful that this would be called simply a 'window'?

    I'm sorry, I don't know either, but I very much share your doubts. Surely 'window' is the entire rectangle.

    Suggestionreturn address line / sender's address line (for the envelope window) ?

    The little bitty line in 7-point type, above the recipient's / mailing address in large type?

    I think it would be understandable to call it the 'return address line' or the 'sender's address line.' But for people unfamiliar with German business letters and envelopes, you might need to explain that the cellophane window is on the left, and is large enough to add the sender's address in small print above that of the recipient in larger type.

    American practice uses a completely different format, with the return address, if not already printed on the envelope, in its own separate window at top left, and the recipient's address in a centered window about 2/3 down the envelope.
