Hi Irina, “Zeitschnitte von Websites” are cached versions/screenshots of webpages and documents that are archived on a website for users who want to see what a website or webpage looked like at a previous point in time. So, a web crawler visits certain websites on a frequent basis, creates a scanned copy of it and archives this copy for you to access at any time. It’s similar to sites like the Wayback Machine - Wikipedia

Please let me know if this makes sense to you.
