What does Anhang mean?

It's a bug. It should be "Appendix" (Anhang is the german word for Appendix).

I still have to find out where this word came from - it is not in the git repository and gets there while doing the initial "make dist"for generating the distribution tar file.

Record: The info file is generated by

makeinfo   -I .-o gv.info gv.texi

which adds the word "Anhang" to it's output - which is a bad thing, given that the language of the processed document may or may not equal the current locale.

You can force recreation of gv.info by deleting it in the doc directory of the source distribution. It will be recreated with your locale settings.
