Dienstbezeichnung

English translation: title or service designation

06:14 Jan 31, 2001
German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents
German term or phrase: Dienstbezeichnung
As the first line in an employment contract:

Diese Dienstbezeichnung ist an das hier bezeichnete Arbeitsgebiet gebunden.

A translation of this sentence would be most helpful. Thanks.

English translation:title or service designation
Explanation:
Der große Muret-Sanders lists
service desgignation
for Dienstbezeichnung, and
sphere (area, field) of work
for Arbeitsgebiet.

Romain, WB Rechts- und Wirtschaftssprache, lists
official title
for Dienstbezeichnung, and
der Große Eichborn lists
[occupational] title


So I would suggest s.th. along the lines of
This title [service designation] pertains only to the area [field] of work described herein.

See what fits better into your overall context.

name of the function


Explanation:
The name of the function is part of the description of the work area that follows.

I do not think that "job description" is right, because that would be "doppelt-gemoppelt".
