Vollbesetzte

Vollbesetzte is a form of the German adjective vollbesetzt, meaning fully occupied or fully booked. It is used to indicate that a capacity, space, or resource is complete with no free units remaining. The form vollbesetzte is typically used in attributive position before a noun and changes according to gender, number, and case. For example: eine vollbesetzte Konferenz (feminine singular, nominative), vollbesetzte Räume (plural), or ein vollbesetzter Zug (masculine singular with a different ending).

Common contexts for vollbesetzte include transportation, events, and facilities. In transport, one might speak of vollbesetzte Züge or Busse to describe services that are fully booked or fully occupied. In venues, vollbesetzte Säle or Konzertsäle refer to halls that are at full attendance. In service or housing contexts, vollbesetzte Ressourcen oder Räume denote that all units are in use. The term can also describe digital or logistical capacity, such as vollbesetzte Serverkapazitäten or Arbeitsplätze during peak periods.

Vollbesetzte is related to the predicative form vollbesetzt, as in Der Saal ist vollbesetzt, where the adjective follows a linking verb rather than preceding a noun. The noun form Vollbesetzung exists as a separate noun referring to full staffing or occupancy, for example in der Vollbesetzung einer Abteilung.

Etymology traces vollbesetzte to voll (full) + besetzt (occupied), with the compound conveying complete occupancy. The term is common in German-speaking contexts to signal that no free capacity remains.
