Step, pace. "In gemessenem Schritt" is at a measured, processional pace.
Found inside a heading rather than alone — In gemessenem Schritt opens Mahler 5 i — and governs the section that heading starts, until the next tempo direction.
It names a walking or marching pace, so it fits funeral marches and processions; the adjective in front of it (gemessen, langsam, ruhig) sets the speed. Add a metronome mark if the exact tempo matters.
Schritt is one of 1760 terms in the Gradus musical dictionary: the words, abbreviations and instrument names that appear in printed scores, plus the vocabulary composers use to talk about them.
