What is - if there is - the German term for words that indicate a contrary "Nebensatz"?

These words don't connect a main clause with a subordinate clause (Nebensatz), they connect two main clauses. An example for a conjunction which is used for contrary subordinate clauses is obwohl. Such subordinary clauses are called Konzessivsätze.– RHaCommented Oct 11, 2017 at 14:57

Words such as aber, jedoch, and dennoch are called Konjunktion, in plural Konjunktionen.

That's too general. There are many other Konjunktionen which are quite different from those mentioned in the question.– RHaCommented Oct 12, 2017 at 6:48
