35 mins aktivierbar - can be capitalized / capitalizable
Explanation:
That would be my guess, assuming that "Eigenl" stands for Eigenleistung and "Anlagev." stands for Anlagevermögen.
aktivieren
(ReW) to capitalize
– to recognize/carry . . . as an asset
– to charge to capital
(opp, als Periodenaufwand verbuchen = to expense)Eigenleistung f
(Fin) borrower's own funding
Anlagevermögen n
(ReW) fixed assets
(ie, intended for use on a continuing basis for the purpose of an undertaking's activities; Unterbegriffe nach § 266 HGB: Immaterielle Vermögensgegenstände = intangible assets; Sachanlagen = tangible assets; Finanzanlagen = financial assets; opp, Umlaufvermögen: current assets)
[Schäfer]
Per Zahn, Bank- & Börsenwesen, aktiverungsfähig - capitalizable
A Google search on "aktivierbar +Anlagevermögen" will bring up quite a few relevant sites, for instance:

EINZELUNTERNEHMEN 1 I. RECHTSGRUNDLAGEN * Pflicht ... Es sind das Anlagevermögen, das Umlaufvermögen, das ... nehmen, zum Teil aktivierbar.
