blender attachment
Explanation:
The glass with blades comes on top of a kitchen machine motor. It appears this is an extra part for the machine. Usually these parts have their own motor or are sold as whole with a motor.

agree  Björn Vrooman: Your answer was most helpful. Here, I think it's about the "jar base" only (see d-box) or just "blade(s)." But that's hard to know without pictures.//Didn't like the alternative offered there (extension). But yours and Ramey's are both fine, IMO.

  -> Thanks, Björn. The current leader (6 hrs) seems to have borrowed 'blender' from the answer supplied at 26 mins and 'attachment' from the one at 28 mins.
agree  Cilian O'Tuama: in this context, jar suggests to me the receptacle/vessel/container into which the ingredients to be mixed are put - an attachment could even be a flex

Explanation:
it could also be an "extension", since it has a stainless steel flat blade

agree  Wendy Streitparth: Or blender blade attachment? Aha, OK
22 mins
  -> It's the whole bottom part, with blades and glass and lid. The only thing missing is the motor.
agree  Alison MacG: attachment or blade attachment
51 mins
  -> If I understood correctly, it's the whole thing...
agree  writeaway: blender attachment covers all bases. nice solution. /whizzzzzzzzz?
59 mins
  -> Chop! Chop!//ZZZZOOOOMM
agree  Björn Vrooman: You've made a covincing case. Still think the German is not as precise as it may seem, but you definitely know about this kind of thing and Amazon is full of them./ Is that PC nowadays :)?

agree  philgoddard
5 hrs
  -> Thanks, Phil
agree  Björn Vrooman: Cf. discussion (German link). Disproves the theory, though, that this is about the entire upper part, i.e., it's only about jar base + blades. I think this distinction is important. / You're right, ofc :) There was just some confusion about what's meant.
15 hrs
  -> Thanks as ever for your valuable input. In the asker’s case (essentially a bullet point in the product spec), attachment is probably sufficient for Aufsatz, with the necessary clarification being provided by mit Edelstahl-Flachklinge (zum Zerkleinern).
