I was wrong: it's a cut-out or opening for a glass insert. www.huga.co.za/pdf/HUGA-doors-durat-range.pdf
Peer comment(s):

agree Richard Stephen : Isn't it sort of like the half full/half empty glass? The Germans see the part cut out for the glass and others see the glass put into it.

Actually, I was wrong. It's a cut-out or opening for a glass insert./In my first ref, we see that buyers pay EUR 20 extra for a door that has the opening for a glass insert.
agree Ken Cox : Of course, in most houses glass will be fitted in the opening...
