rounded and filleted corners
'Circle junction' may be a literal mistranslation of 'Kreisanschluss', which means joining two straight lines with an arc of a circle to produce a rounded corner or filleted corner (outside corner or inside corner, respectively).

Note from asker:
| BTW, the course is not for carpenters. This is a tech institute for auto-engineering technicians, but they first get foundation courses in workshop technology that covers all types of workshops. |

: If it is, it were better rendered as "transitional curves", or something along those lines. //(Sorry for the typo - don't want them getting Brahms, do we...?)

for carpenters?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Thank you. I was able to confirm that this is the intended meaning. The term "circle" is used because one or more circles are used in constructing the correct arc joining the two lines in the tech drawing. The lines may be intersecting or parallel, so it is not necessarily a corner."

don't know what the German original might have been - hardly Kreisabschnitt?

: I don't know enough about math to agree, but could the original have been Kreisschnitt?

where two or more circles join.
When you have to have two or more circles join, like in a mirror frame, or in a cabinet bench top there is what is called a junction of circles. at this junction point there are angles and equations that need to be calculated. to ensure the intersections are correct. Than you must be able to make the item.
