long pane of roof / long side of roof Explanation: Ernst suggests "long pane of roof" for "Abseite". This is apparently synonymous with "Langseite des Daches". The only G-hits for "long pane of roof", however, appear to be dictionary sites, and not practical usage of the term. "long pane" +roof -glass brings up few hits, mostly viessmann.co.uk (I guess they used Ernst for their website translation!). Here, it appears to have something to do with attic space - presumably along the long side of the roof. Example sentence(s):
