abtransportieren

Abtransportieren is a German verb formed from the prefix ab- and the verb transportieren. It means to transport something away from its current location, i.e., to remove or convey away. The verb is separable: in the present tense it is expressed as er transportiert die Güter ab, and in the passive as die Güter werden abtransportiert.

The term is used in several technical and formal contexts. In logistics and waste management, Güter, Müll oder Abfälle can be abtransportiert from one site to another. In medical or emergency settings, people may be abtransportiert or evakuiert if they must be moved away from danger. In engineering and environmental applications, Wärme bzw. Flüssigkeiten can be abtransportiert, meaning heat or liquids are conducted away from a system.

Abtransport as a noun denotes the act of removal by transport: der Abtransport der Güter, der Abtransport von Patienten. Related terms include transportieren (to transport), Beförderung (carriage), Evakuierung (evacuation), and Abführung. The tone is formal and common in written German, particularly in logistics, engineering, or administrative contexts.

In everyday language, more common verbs such as entfernen, evakuieren, or abführen may be used depending on context.
