I think we simply call them "Sechszylinder" - six cylinders. Non-inline engines are a small percentage of engines in Germany, so we don't usually call inlines anything. The term for an inline engine is Reihenmotor (I had to look that up!), "line" or "row" engine.

No kidding? Most of the reliable German gasoline engines I know of are "inline" engines, but I am based in the US.
