Aufenthaltsortes

Aufenthaltsortes is the genitive singular form of the German noun Aufenthaltsort, meaning the place where a person stays or resides. The more commonly used form in everyday language is Aufenthaltsort, with the plural Aufenthaltsorte. The term appears frequently in official texts and administrative contexts to indicate the location of a person at a given time.

In usage, Aufenthaltsort denotes the place of stay, which can be temporary or part of a longer-term arrangement. It is related to, but not identical with, Wohnort (home or residence) and gewöhnlicher Aufenthalt (habitual residence). While Wohnort refers to where someone officially lives, and gewöhnlicher Aufenthalt describes a person’s usual place of residence for legal or administrative purposes, Aufenthaltsort focuses on the actual location where a person is staying at a particular moment or during a particular period. This distinction can matter for jurisdiction, service of process, or the application of procedures in civil, administrative, or criminal matters.

Determining a person’s Aufenthaltsort is typically based on factors such as physical presence, length of stay, housing arrangements, and registration data, including local registration requirements. In practice, authorities may consider where a person spends most of their time, maintains contacts, or intends to stay, rather than relying solely on a fixed mailing address.

Examples of usage include forms that request the angegebenen Aufenthaltsort (stated place of stay) or statements noting that a person’s current Aufenthaltsort is in a particular city. Understanding the term helps clarify questions of jurisdiction, entailments of residence, and administrative processes within German-speaking contexts.
