German term or phrase: Verbinddungsstück
It's difficult to see, but the word refers to the ornate piece that forms part of the the book stand of this pulpit: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelische_Kirche_Orsoy#/med... (directly under the shelf the book sits on, partly obscured by the flag).

The sentence in my source text is: "Des Weiteren wurde eine Messinghülse von ca. 35 mm. Länge unterhalb des muschelförmigen Verbindungsstückes zur Platte eingesetzt."

Explanation:
If it is a pulpit (rather than a lecturn), "lecturn support" would not be appropriate. I suggest simply "support", although "connection" ("connecting piece" is a literal translation of "Verbindungsstück") might also be okay.
