can anyone please tell me what the "nut of the bow" is?

The nut is the twisty part that tightens or loosens the bow hair.

das wäre dann: "das beinchen"

thanks! this confirms what I thought it was...

I haven´t heard the term "beinchen" yet though.

according to simandl (#14 on his diagram of the parts of the DB & bow) this would be "schraube" or "knopf".-..

[bassist14]

"schraube" or "bogenschraube" is bassist-speech
"beinchen" is rather luthier-speech

I see! danke ; )
