Fangprinzip der Schwarzen Witwe:
Laufinsekten kleben an den Fäden fest, reißen sie durch ihre heftigen Befreiungsversuche ab und werden an den unter Spannung stehenden Fäden in die Höhe gerissen, der Spinne entgegen, die sie, aus dem **Wohnteil** herbeistürzend, mit Leim und Fesselfäden bewirft, durch Giftbiß lähmt und aussaugt.

the part of its web where it lives
my guess. So it lives in one area of the web and the rest is for catching the insects.

: The German text sounds quite humourous :-). Was probably written by a house carpenter oder interior decorator.

guess that means the part of the net where the spider is living so I would circumscribe it as the spider's housing part..

nest
After paralyzing its prey, some spiders may wrap it up in silk to make it easier to transport back to the nest. Some species actually cover the prey in silk before injecting the venom, making it easier to attack. A female spider may carry wrapped prey back to its young spiderlings, and a male may bring the wrapped prey to a female as a courtship gift.
