The German term seems to be a recent coinage of an Austrian manufacturer of baseboard heaters, which they market under the name 'Best Board'. Their English-language website renders this as 'pedestal heating', which even makes it into the Wikipedia entry on baseboards as a side note, but if you google 'pedestal heating' or 'pedestal heater' you will see something quite different.

baseboard heater
Bei genauerem Hinsehen ist es eigentlich fast eine Sockelheizleiste, denn der Sockelheizkörper, um den es m. E. geht, sieht je nach Ausführung wie eine Fußleiste aus und ist im Englischen unter baseboard heater zu finden.

pedestal heating board
That's what it's called by a German manufacturer, and Google seems to confirm this.
