German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Schuldbetreibungs- und Konkursrecht
German term or phrase: Arrestort
"Für die Prosekutionsbetreibung hat der Gläubiger die Wahl, den Schuldner am Arrestort oder am ordentlichen Betreibungsort zu betreiben"

[Swiss legal document]
Note: I did find the term "Freezing order" for "Arrest" in this case - but am not sure.(Hannah)

place of seizure
Explanation:
This refers to money. Your 'freezing order' is a term in the right area, but the word 'freezing' isn't usually used in other combinations here.
Place of seizure / place of attachment

(Of course, Arrest can apply to persons too, as in English, but that isn't your context)
