Schätzerinnen

Schätzerinnen are the feminine plural form of Schätzerin, a noun derived from schätzen, meaning to estimate or to appraise. As a job title, Schätzerin refers to a woman who estimates values or assesses quantities, conditions, or risks. The plural Schätzerinnen denotes two or more women performing such estimation tasks. The term occurs in several domains: in valuation and appraisal professions, such as art, antiques, real estate, insurance, or taxes, where professionals estimate market value or loss; in statistics or research contexts, a female estimator may be described as a Schätzerin when referring to a person applying estimation methods to infer population parameters; the common technical term for an estimator remains Schätzer (masculine) or Schätzerin when specifically referencing a female.

In historical and contemporary usage, Schätzerinnen can be employed to emphasize the gender of the practitioner, and they appear in contexts advocating gender-sensitive language. In many German-speaking organizations, job titles are used in gender-inclusive forms; however, the exact usage can vary, with some texts using the masculine form generically or pairing forms (Schätzerinnen und Schätzer). The concept aligns with the broader field of estimation, where estimators provide point estimates or interval estimates based on sample data or valuation rules.
