die Satzung, -en
bylaws · statute
The German word "Satzung" is a noun that means "statute" or "bylaw". It derives from "Satz" which means "sentence" or "clause", indicating a formal set of rules or regulations. "Satzung" is often used in the context of organizations, associations, or institutions, referring to the governing documents that outline the rules, objectives, and procedures they follow.
Similar words in German include "Regelung" (regulation) and "Vorschrift" (ordinance).
The difference lies in scope: while "Satzung" is typically specific to formal groups and associations, "Regelung" can apply more generally to any kind of regulation or rule, and "Vorschrift" often refers to mandatory directives that must be followed.
