In Germany, the first item is called  "_ _ _ _ _"

In the US, one name for the second item is a "_ _ _ _ _ _  knob".

No. The second half of the name is an American English slang term for the device pictured.

It's not a handle or a handel. It's a knob. But what kind of knob?

Not a Pommel Knob, nor a  Suicide Knob, nor a Granny Knob.

You learn something new every day at Autopuzzles!

I've never heard the term "necker knob" before. In the UK, if these things are called anything at all, they are referred to as steering wheel knobs, or spinners. I don't think they have ever been popular as a regular car accessory here, but are normally used in cars adapted for disabled drivers, to make one-handed steering easier.

My wife is disabled, and has one of these (along with other hand controls) in her car. She was also unaware of 'necker knobs' until I ribbed her about it.

I remembered seeing these in the JC Whitney catalogs I used to get in the mail.
