It's a Palankin. An armoured one is a Panzerpalankin. The amount of chairmen was indicated by an abbreviation and a number. For example, a 4 person armoured sedan chair was a Palankin PzP IV.

The famous PZP VII Murmeltier II is often overpowered in wargaming rulesets of the period. Please mind that you do not step into that trap.

zwei Sesselbahnen Trägern, vier Sesselbahnen Trägern is two and four.

Sänften (plural)

Until now I didn't even know such things were used after the classical era.
