Wiedereingeführt

Wiedereingeführt is the past participle of the German verb wiedereingeführen, meaning to reintroduce or re-implement a policy, rule, or practice. It is used to describe something that had been discontinued or suspended and has been brought back into effect. Grammatically, it can function as part of a perfect tense (hat/wurde wiedereingeführt) or as an attributive adjective (eine wiedereingeführte Maßnahme).

Der Begriff setzt sich aus wieder (again) und eingeführt (introduced) zusammen. In orthography there is variation: some style guides write wiedereingeführt as one word, others prefer wieder eingeführt as two words. In usage the form chosen often reflects the sentence structure or official style. As an attributive adjective, it takes appropriate endings: die wiedereingeführte Regel, die wiedereingeführte Maßnahme.

Typical contexts for the term include government policy, laws, health rules, economic measures, and organizational procedures. It is used to indicate reinstatement after a prior suspension or repeal. Examples: Die wiedereingeführte Maskenpflicht trat am Montag in Kraft. Die wiedereingeführte Preisobergrenze soll den Markt stabilisieren. The expression is common in formal writing and media coverage when describing policy changes.

Related terms include die Wiedereinführung (the act of reintroduction) and Wiederaufnahme (resumption). The distinction between wiedereingeführt and wieder eingeführt is mainly orthographic; semantically both convey the same idea, with Wiedereinführung used as a noun to name the act.
