Sammlerin

Sammlerin is a German noun that designates a female collector. It refers to a person who collects objects or artefacts, either as a hobby or as part of a professional activity. The term is the feminine form of Sammler, formed with the agent-noun suffix -in, derived from sammeln (to collect).

Grammatical notes: In the singular, the form is die Sammlerin; in the plural, die Sammlerinnen. For groups that include men, the common inclusive construction is Sammlerinnen und Sammler. The masculine counterpart is Sammler. The feminine form follows regular German declension patterns: die Sammlerin, der Sammlerin, die Sammlerinnen, der Sammlerinnen, and so on.

Usage: Sammlerin is used specifically for women who collect, whether as a hobby or in a professional context such as curation or collection management. Examples include: Sie ist eine leidenschaftliche Sammlerin von Briefmarken. The term is often employed in cultural, museum, and hobbyist discussions to specify gender.
