German term or phrase: Zinsenaufwendungen f.kfr. Verbindlichkeit
Interest outgoings, debt, but what is f.kfr. ?

interest expense on non-current liability
Explanation:
Aufwendungen are expenses, not outgoings/expenditures as the interest can be accrued but not actually paid. Verbindlickeiten are liabilities, not debt.

f.kfr. - für kürzfristig(e) - for non-current (or short-term in the older pre-IFRS parlance)

Note - It's always a good idea to tell us which accounting standards are in play as it makes a difference.
