German term or phrase: konisch geschnittene Hose
I thought at first these were jodhpur-style but the pictures on the internet seem to show trousers that are slightly flared.

tapered trousers
Explanation:
I think this must be what is meant, also referred to as "Karottenhose"

Seit Anfang der 80er Jahre haben sich Karottenjeans mit hohem Bund und nach unten zulaufendem und konischen Schnitt sehr verbreitet.

disagree  David Williams: The asker thought at first these were jodhpur-style (i.e tapered) but the pictures on the internet seem to show trousers that are slightly flared - exactly the opposite ot tapered trousers!

flared trousers


Explanation:
So this is what I would call them; trousers with a more exaggerated flare as (used to be?) worn in the navy were called "bell-bottoms", or "bell-bottomed trousers". I take "tapered trousers" as narrowing towards the ankle. In fact the German term appears to mean either - do you have a picture of what you actually want?
