What is the name of a particular architectural structure from a Gothic Church?

Accepted answer
According to "Die Wehrkirchen in Siebenbürgen" by George Oprescu, these are arrow slits ("Schießscharten"). This is a feature that is rare for churches outside of Transsylvania, which probably contributed to this church (in Saschiz/Romania) being part of a UNESCO world heritage site.
