land charge for (post-war) reconstruction
Explanation:
This is based on suggested translations in Romain.

Romain suggests "construction" for "Aufbau," but for "Aufbaudarlehen" it has this: "reconstruction loan (as part of the burden-sharing, or equalization of (war) burdens, -> Lastenausgliech[.]"

For "Aufbaukredit" Romain suggests "credit facilities for (post-war) reconstruction[.]"

I'm pretty sure that this is the right direction...

Romain has this to say about "Grundschuld[:] land charge, (abstract land charge for a money payment), mortgage[.]"

I chose "land charge" here, but you could just as well choose "mortgage" if you like (IMHO).

Actually, I would stick with "land charge" here; otherwise, you may run into problems with "Aufbauhypothek" (IMHO).

agree  Henry Schroeder: I was thinking along the lines of "reconstruction mortgage" and "development mortgage" but your presumable solution of "reconstruction land charge" and "reconstruction mortgage" would also work well
