noun

das Grundstück, -e

property · plot

Ein Stück Land, das jemandem gehört und auf dem man zum Beispiel ein Haus bauen kann.

The German word "Grundstück" is a noun meaning "plot of land" or "property".

  • Grund means "ground", "reason", or "basis".
  • Stück means "piece" or "part".

So, "Grundstück" literally means "piece of ground".

Similar words:

  • "Parzelle" (parcel, smaller plot of land)
  • "Areal" (area, site)
  • "Landstück" (piece of land)

Difference: "Grundstück" generally refers to a legally defined property plot with ownership rights, often used in real estate. "Parzelle" is often a smaller subdivision of land, "Areal" might be larger or more general, and "Landstück" is more informal for any piece of land.
