From a pocketknife description:
"Korkenzieher mit Seele"
The corkscrew is clear. "Seele" can be a core, but what is the core of a corkscrew?

hollow core
Not as nice as Seele. I think this is it. Thank you Katrin for your link.
Helix or helical worm Worm made from a suitable wire that is shaped around a cylindrical mandrel in such a way that it has a hollow, open core on its long axis
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/collec-tirebouchons/collec_tirebouch...
It has a small knife blade for cutting off the top of the foil capsule (much easier than using a fingernail). The screw itself is a smooth round wire that coils in a hollow helix, designed to grab more cork without shredding. Best of all, there's a piece of metal that rides the lip of the bottle, allowing the handle to function as a lever. The cork comes out easily almost every time. And, if it ever does fail, this corkscrew includes a bottle opener so at least you can have a beer.

Comment: "Thank you Kim, this fits the context best, as it is a feature of the corkscrew."

German term (edited):
Korkenzieher mit Seele
spiral corkscrew
as opposed to 'auger corkscrew' which does not have a core
Damit der Korkenzieher nicht aus dem Kork reißt, sollten nur solche benutzt werden die eine weite Windung haben (Korkenzieher mit Seele).
http://www.dunkelfelder-rotwein.de/dufeoffnen.htm
Ein guter Korkenzieher braucht vor allem eine Seele. Damit ist nichts Übersinnliches gemeint. Die Seele ist das, was man nicht sieht und worum sich die Spindel des Korkenziehers, die Spirale, schlängelt. Ein Korkenzieher darf dagegen nicht aussehen wie eine Schraube, also kein Nagel mit einem spiralförmig umlaufenden Etwas sein. Man muß in der Mitte durchsehen können.

: In this specific case, yes. Usually, in technical terminology, a Seele is something solid (like the core in cable). For a good picture, see www.swissknifeshop.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&S...

essence
'corkscrew with an essence'
it seems to be saying that it is very special. Not just a lifeless thing, but almost with its own personality.
