der Zugewanderte, -n

The German word "Zugewanderte" is a noun, referring to people who have immigrated or migrated to a place.

• Made of:
  • Wanderte (from "wandern") meaning "wandered" or "migrated"
  • The prefix "zu-" meaning "to" or "towards"

So, "Zugewanderte" literally means "those who have moved toward" a place, i.e., immigrants or newcomers.
