German term or phrase: Erschienenen
Vorstehende Verhandlung wurde der Erschienenen vorgelesen, genehmigt und unterschreiben

use name and/or function
Explanation:
The German is refers to a single female present! Literal translation: the one (woman) who has appeared here/there; in other words: who was present.
I don't think there is a corresponding form in English. I would use either her name or whatever function she has, appellant, respondent, witness, etc. or a combination of the two. Since it might be important to express that the person was actually present, I would go with something like this:

was read to ... the respondent/the witness Maria Smith, who was present at.../on this occasion

It\'s also probably not a court but a notary; either way...

the appearer; the woman appearing


Explanation:
Already in ProZ glossary as party appearing.

However, notarially, 'appearer' is of long standing in AE/BE, though unpopular with most translators, is also used in Brooke's Notary, Sweet & Maxwell, London 2000 and Googles as an orig. Eng. word.

'... s) to be notarised; and (2) the personal ID evidence of each *Appearer*. ... haste or (not
surprisingly) not quite au fait with current notarial practice, procedure ...'
