abziehbar

Abziehbar is a German adjective meaning able to be removed, peeled off, or withdrawn. The core idea is that something can be detached from a surface or system without permanent alteration. It derives from the verb abziehen, which means to pull away, remove, or deduct.

In everyday use, abziehbar describes items designed for easy removal. This includes labels or stickers that can be peeled off without leaving substantial residue, front panels or covers that are detachable, and coatings or films intended for temporary protection. In product design, the term signals modularity, replaceability, or temporary attachment.

In manufacturing, construction, and electronics, abziehbare components or features are often employed to allow transport, assembly, or maintenance without tools or damage to the base structure. Examples include abziehbare Folien (peel-off films) and abziehbare Griffe (detach-able handles). The concept is closely linked to the idea of reversible or non-permanent modifications.

In finance and taxation, abziehbar is used to describe expenses or costs that are deductible from taxable income. While related in root meaning, this usage focuses on subtraction in calculation rather than physical removal. In tax contexts, statements such as costs being abziehbar from the tax base indicate deductible treatment.

Related German terms include abnehmen and abziehen (to remove or deduct) and abnehmbar (removable in the sense of detachable). Abziehbar contrasts with terms like abtrennbar or fest verbunden, which describe more permanent or integrated connections.
