Räumend

Räumend is the present participle (Partizip I) of the German verb räumen. It denotes an action in progress related to clearing, vacating, removing, or making space. As a participle used in attributive position, räumend functions as an adjective and is usually written in lowercase (das räumende Team) unless it is nominalized.

Räumen has several related meanings, including clearing a space, evacuating objects, or making room for something new. Because of these senses, räumend can describe someone or something performing the clearing action, especially in technical or descriptive contexts. In texts about operations or procedures, you may encounter phrases such as räumende Truppe or räumende Arbeiten to specify ongoing clearance efforts.

In practice, räumend tends to be more common in written or formal language than in everyday speech. For clearer expression, some writers prefer the corresponding nouns Räumung (clearing, evacuation) or Räumungsarbeiten (clearing operations), which convey the idea without relying on the participle form.

Examples:

- Die räumende Truppe räumt das Gelände frei.

- Die räumenden Arbeiten sollen bis Abend abgeschlossen sein.
