Slope
Explanation:
Seems to be the sloped inner part that some plates have. The link below just calls it the slope but I'm not sure if it has another name.

  -> Thanks, Lonnie
neutral  Annett Kottek (X): Helen, I've come to believe that marli (or ledge) is in fact the 'Fahne', whereas 'Steigbord' is the wall that rises up. I cannot find a definition of it though, only an image (see References).

  -> Well, this question has been closed already. I don't agree with the answer selected. I think that marli would be used in this circumstance, but agree that in GER there seems to be an added distinction made. The rise of the marli. Curved edge of the marli?
