Obergeschoß

Obergeschoß is a German word that translates to "upper floor" or "upper level" in English. It refers to any floor of a building that is situated above the ground floor. The term is commonly used in architectural and real estate contexts. In multi-story buildings, the Obergeschoß typically encompasses all floors above the Erdgeschoß (ground floor) up to the Dachgeschoß (attic or roof level).

The specific number of Obergeschoße can vary greatly depending on the size and type of the building. Residential buildings might have one or two Obergeschoße, while larger apartment complexes or commercial buildings can have many. In some regions or building codes, the Obergeschoß might also refer to specific floors within a defined range, distinct from the ground level and any basement levels. The term is straightforward and descriptive, indicating a higher elevation within the structure.
