German term or phrase: Steg
Da das ringförmige Verrastungsbauteil vom Außenumfang des stab- oder rohrfömige Bauteil zumindest um einen Betrag entsprechend seiner Materialstärke vorragt, können diese Eingriffsmittel beispielsweise durch entsprechende Stege gebildet sein, welche in Axialrichtung die Vertiegung ein- oder beidseitig begrenzen, sodass dass Verrastungsbauteil entweder einseitig an einem derartigen Steg anliegt oder beidseiting zwiischen zwei derartigen Stegen eingeschlossen ist, sodass die ein- oder beidseitig gegen eine axiale Verschiebung relative zu dem Bauteil and damit zur Tragstruktur gesichert ist.

Explanation:
Some translations from my technical dictionary "Kucera, Dictionary of Exact Science and Technology", which may be considered (examples):

Steg m

~ (der Kette) / stud n

:

I found that a rib (Rippe) would fit at the best, as the described „Steg“ looks like a rib (in my imagination). But I can be mistaken, so other terms may also match the part in question.

land


Explanation:
Since I don't have a drawing, just a suggestion. The answers already given are Stege that are bridge-like (i.e. surrounded by air on all sides). This sounds more as if this Steg sits on the surface in question (i.e. is raised above the material, but connected to it at the bottom. This can be achieved by adding material or more likely, e.g., by milling away the material around it so that the Steg now protrudes.
This is usually called a land.

neutral  xxxolympio: land = The raised portion of a grooved surface, as on a phonograph record [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lands]. Am not sure if it would be valid translation in the asker's context.
