gericht

English translation: architrave / backband / door surround / door support / door skirting / door frame

Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
Danish term or phrase: gericht
This appears in specifications for a construction project in the following phrase:

Karm, dørplade, lysning og gericht er i samme farve.

I have a vague memory of having researched this term before but cannot find my notes on it. Grr! Presumably, this comes from German, but none of the meanings in German seems to line up with any meaning that would make sense in the context of installing doors. Any help here? Thanks in advance!!!
