Definition & meaning

Anberaumen means to formally schedule or set a date for an event, such as a meeting, hearing, or conference. It is most often used in formal or administrative contexts.

For example, a court may schedule a hearing, or an organization may set a date for a meeting.

Grammar & Word origin

Anberaumen is a separable, transitive verb: its parts separate in some sentence forms, and it typically takes a direct object. In the present tense, the verb appears as beraumt … an . Its past participle is anberaumt , and its perfect tense uses haben.

The verb is formed from the separable prefix an- and beraumen , which is related to Raum , meaning “space” or “room.” In this verb, the sense is extended to allocating or fixing a time.

Synonyms & antonyms

  • festsetzen — to fix or determine; a broad synonym that can refer to dates, rules, or amounts.
  • ansetzen — to schedule or set; often less formal and can also mean to plan an event for a particular time.
  • terminieren — to schedule or assign a date; more explicitly focused on setting a date.

There is no exact antonym. Depending on context:

  • absagen — to cancel an event that has been scheduled.
  • verschieben — to postpone or reschedule it; unlike cancellation, the event still takes place.
