added liquid/brine - (pressed) sauerkraut juice

My comment:

Mix, with wooden spoon... shredded cabbage with ... salt ... and toss and mix thoroughly until salt dissolves!. .. When juice starts to form on cabbage from tossing - Pack the cabbage firmly and evenly into a c... container. Press firmly to encourage juice formation ... Make sure juice covers the cabbage completely!... I prepare additional brine ... Dissolve salt and cool brine to room temperature before adding to the pot of cabbage.

So my guess is that the “Aufgussflüssigkeit” the extra brine added to the “Presslake”, the juice formed from mixing, tossing and pressing the cabbage and salt.
