DW (Fax-DW)

English translation: Durchwahl

18:33 Sep 1, 2015
German to English translations [Non-PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Telephone/fax number
German term or phrase: DW (Fax-DW)
Context:

I am translating a court ruling.

Towards the top of the document it says:

Sachbearbeiter (+ name underneath)

Next to this, it says "DW", with a number underneath (17). Next to this it says: "Fax-DW".

I have no idea what DW stands for. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
