If one reads the Wikipedia definition the word Rabbat comes from Old French meaning wall recess which may also work here.

Rabbeted masonry/brickwork


Explanation:
I think the EN term for 'Anschlag' here is 'rabbet', so I'd go with something along the lines of 'rabbeted brickwork' here - I think it just means where the window is going to be attached and hinged.
