GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Stuetzeneinfassung
English translation:column/buttress trim/border

Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Text about building a multi-storey car park
German term or phrase: Stuetzeneinfassung
Die Firma ***** stellt die Stuetzeneinfassungen her.

I'm afraid there isn't a whole lot more context to give, other than the fact that the "Stuetzeneinfassungen" are for a multi-storey car park, and that this sentence comes under the heading, "Strassenbau".

The best I can come up with is "pillar border" or possibly "pillar curb", but I'm really not sure what's actually meant here. A Google search yielded just these two results:

https://www.dachbaustoffe.de/suche/stuetzeneinfassung

http://www.heinze.de/ausschreibungstext/anschluss-rhepanol-f...

Make of them what you will... ;-)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

column/buttress trim/border
Explanation:
I imagine them to be rather massive and the 'Einfassungen' are something like the concrete borders around columns. Something like the second photo on the top row: https://www.google.de/search?q=Stützeneinfassung&client=fire...

support covering


Explanation:
Since it is material that can be rolled up, it has to be some sort of covering for a structural element, so 'support' for 'Stütze' is not that far off

If you try googling "pillar cladding"; "column cladding", "column casing", "column cladding", there are thousands of hits for each, so take your pick...

neutral  Yorkshireman: pillar or column cladding is applied around a raw concrete pillar as a protective or decorative layer. @David - I did (and I always do), but some may not have the time or inclination to look - unlike us.
