I think that "abscess", per se, implies encapsulation...

In this reference, "encapsulated abscess" is also translated into Arabic... So, the expression exists in other languages besides German,
(an I am thinking) English..

An abscess (Latin: abscessus) is a collection of pus (dead neutrophils) that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue in which the pus resides due to an infectious process (usually caused by bacteria or parasites) or other foreign materials (e.g., splinters, bullet wounds, or injecting needles). It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body. One example of an abscess is a BCG-oma, which is caused because of incorrect administration of the BCG vaccine.

The organisms or foreign materials kill the local cells, resulting in the release of cytokines. The cytokines trigger an inflammatory response, which draws large numbers of white blood cells to the area and increases the regional blood flow.
From Wikipedia:

The final structure of the abscess is an **abscess wall, or capsule**, that is formed by the adjacent healthy cells in an attempt to keep the pus from infecting neighboring structures. However, **such encapsulation tends to prevent immune cells from attacking bacteria in the pus, or from reaching the causative organism or foreign object.**
