The German word "Lager" is a noun that means "warehouse," "storage," or "stock." It can refer to a place where goods are stored, such as a warehouse or depot, or to the inventory or collection of items kept in storage.

The word can also refer to a "camp" or "site" in certain contexts, such as a military or summer camp (e.g., "Pfadfinderlager" for "scout camp"). Related words with similar meanings include "Depot" (depot), "Speicher" (storehouse), and "Abfüllung" (batch, stock).
