It is called a vacuum element. It controls the fresh air duct I think. Would be called recirculate doors in later cars.

Part number is the best description. The part number currently is 000 800 11 75, but if your car is before chassis number 009557 the part is a superceeded part for a part no longer available. There are a few other small pieces neede for the supersession.
