Justified enrichment may also fit - I think the intention is to draw a distinction between unjustified and justified enrichment.

claim for unjust enrichment


Explanation:
"Bereicherungsanspruch" is short for "Anspruch aus ungerechtfertigter Bereicherung".

This is what Garner, Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage has to say on this matter:
"unjust enrichment; unjust benefit; unjustified enrichment -
unjust enrichment = (1) a benefit obtained from another, not intended as a gift and not legally justifiable, for which the beneficiary must make restitution or recompense, or (2) the body of law governing claims for benefits of this kind.
Unjust enrichment began its career as an AmE term but is nowused on both sides of the Atlantic; unjust benefit is a primarily BrE variant, which some Britons stoutly prefer. ... But the leading British treatise uses unjust enrichment. ... Unjustufied enrichment is a needless variant."

The German being an abridged form, I prefer the short and concise version suggested.
