The document is an instruction manual for the different valves and how to operate them. My question revolves specifically around "brechventil". Is it a break-open valve?

Vacuum breaker valve
Looks like it acts as a sort of circuit breaker.
Example sentence:
Designed to protect pipelines and vertical turbine pump applications from air lock and vacuum collapse, the Cla-Val Model 33A High Performance Air Release & Vacuum Breaker Valve eliminates air and prevents vacuum formations in in waterworks piping systems

vacuum limiter valve
There is a nice explanation here:
"Vacuum Limiting Valve.
Before describing how I fitted the new Brake Valve to my Stafford there is one other essential part of the vacuum braking system to discuss, the Vacuum Limiting Valve. At the time of writing this webpage this valve is not supplied by Station Road Steam, so if you want one you will have to source it yourself and then fit it. The photo below shows a vacuum limiting valve installed in my driving truck, but when I fitted the new style vacuum brake valve it had to be relocated to the Stafford's footplate for reasons explained later on this page."

: Think you may be getting mixed up between break (brechen) and brake (bremsen).
