It means the same thing as a fermata over a double bar line: stopA fermata is over a note or rest, a double bar, or a closing repeat sign. If over a note or rest, it extends the duration.

What could a fermata over an ordinary bar line possibly mean? A bar
has no duration, and you usually don't end at one. Does the piece
need a double bar?
and wait until the conductor starts the ensemble again.
No way.

Each section is ABBA. daveA
Are you saying:
1. I didn't see what I saw and the orchestra should have been confused? They weren't and the work was performed successfully without any explanation of that notation from the conductor.
2. Kalmus made a technical error? I guess the same effect could have been achieved with a Caesura.
3. You comment only refers to the OP's example? I didn't check that carefully. I was just responding to your definitive statement on the use of fermatas.
Have fun,
Paul
