German term or phrase: 1 Heftung zurück
This is an enclosure with an internal letter from the Tiefbauverwaltung to the Landratsamt conatined in a building permit.There is the usual letterhead etc. followed by:

"Anlage: **1 Heftung zurück**

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren"

Is it something along the lines of a returned file? Thank you.

Explanation:
I guess there are several (at least 2) documents stapled (heften) to the letter and the one in question is not the first one but the second one (after the 1 Heftung).
No guarantee at all that I am right!!

Explanation:
The only thing I can think of is that it has either something to do with the word "Heft" = book or booklet, or "heften" = to fasten or fix (and here while it is referring to an attachment then this could be a possibility)

one stapled document returned


Explanation:
The "zurück" seems to me to indicate that something is being returned to the office receiving the letter.
Heftung is normally the stapling itself rather than the document, but here it appears to be used in a transferred sense.
