Rollbare

Rollbare is a German adjective meaning rollable or capable of being rolled. It describes objects or materials that can be rolled for storage, transport, or deployment. The word is formed from the verb rollen (to roll) with the suffix -bar, which marks capability. In usage, rollbare typically precedes a noun and agrees with gender and number (for example: ein rollbarer Stuhl, eine rollbare Matte, ein rollbares Display).

In German technical and marketing language, the term commonly appears in compounds such as rollbares Display (a display that can be rolled up), rollbare Textilien (rollable textiles), or rollbare Dachsysteme (rollable roof systems). It is also used in discussions of design concepts related to portability and space-saving solutions in architecture and consumer electronics.

Etymology-wise, rollbare derives from rollen plus the attributive suffix -bar, aligning with standard German adjective formation. The form is used to describe devices or materials designed for rolling, folding, or compact storage, rather than to denote a fixed, rigid configuration.

In English-language contexts, the nearest equivalent is rollable or roll-up, depending on the object and construction. The German term rollbare appears primarily in German texts and is most often encountered in technical writing, product descriptions, and design discourse where rolling functionality is a key feature.
