German term

Vierkant

German to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing Valves
Das freie Wellenende mit Adapter und entsprechendem *Vierkant*, sowie die Ausführung des Anschlussflansches nach ISO 5211 des Aufbausatzes ermöglicht den nachträglichen Aufbau eines Elektro-Antriebes, Pneumatik Antriebes oder eines einfachen Handgetriebes.

There is a similar picture here:

The *Vierkant* is the piece at the very top of the valve in the middle. Looks like square shaft that would be used to connect an actuator. I have found *spindle*, but was not able to confirm that.

Square drive

I'd call it a square drive, personally. Yes, it would be used to connect an actuator/rotating mechanism.
