I found various translations for 'Pultdach', among them: monopitch, single pitch, shed roof

Based on the above definition, I would go for elongated/extended monopitch [ sled roof, single pitch roof]

And here’s an excellent E-G roof glossary that even tells you what a 'Krüppelwalmdach' is!

Explanation:
Christine,

Try entering "Dachabschleppung" in Google and clicking on "Bilder" (or "Images" - or whatever that is in English); then do the same with "cantilever roof" (clicking on "Bilder" again).

It might be what you're looking for ...
