Werk

English translation: Werk

German to English translations [Non-PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Divorce Decree
German term or phrase: Werk
I got a real problem with this word in the following context.

Above the caption of the divorce degree it says from left to right:

Ausfertigung [Siegel] Verkündet am xxxxxxxx
Werk
Justizobersekretärin

Would it make sense to translate it with decreed by, just work, or what would you suggest.

Asker: But the name of the Justizobersekretär is not Werk?

Asker: Otherwise it is a great idea
