Zunge is "switch blade" or "point". I am not sure whether the "Vorrichtung" is a direct part of the blade or some piece (indirectly) connected to it (e.g. the switching equipment etc.)
Thanks

switching device
I would say a switching device as a general term
Note from asker:
| Switching device seems to be spot-on! However, CMJ_Trans proposed the term a while ago (as an addendum) ;-) So thanks for the correct term - but I'm afraid I can't award you any points :-( as they are all awarded already |

I deeply appologize if anyone was offended. I couldn't send the "disagree" answer to the other option, because the other answer was not wrong, it was just (in my oppinion) too precise. I sincerely believed to have the adequate term. Sorry once again!
