The German word "Landebahn" is a compound noun made up of:

• "Lande" — from the verb landen, meaning "to land".
• "Bahn" — meaning "track", "lane", or "runway".

Meaning: "Landebahn" means "runway" — the strip of land or paved surface where aircraft land and take off.

Similar words:

• "Startbahn" — runway used for takeoff (often synonymous with "Landebahn").
• "Rollbahn" — taxiway, a path for aircraft to move on the ground.
