I’m not familiar with the Viel, but there are lots of different ways to tension a belt, from very simple to more complicated contraptions with a spring and screw adjustments.
A super simple way is just a metal bar bent at 90 that the belt rides on. A simple clamp makes it adjustable in/out for more/less belt tension or just a hole in the side so it can swing into the belt. A idler wheel could be attached too.
More complicated is an arm with a pulley and spring like something pictured in the attachment.
