lamina of the rectus sheath
I believe Rektus is short for Rektusscheide, rectus sheath. The German and English Wikipedia pages are linked:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectus_sheath
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rektusscheide
The German says:
Es werden Vorderwand (Lamina anterior) und Hinterwand (Lamina posterior) der Rektusscheide unterschieden.
And the English:
The rectus sheath can be divided into anterior and posterior laminae.
A lamina is a plate or layer, hence "Blatt".
I believe the translation of your whole phrase is "anterior and posterior laminae of the rectus sheath".

: Your reference is fragmentary, and the link doesn't work, but I think it may be a mistranslation. There is only one rectus sheath.
