aufgebringten

Aufgebringten is a grammatically inflected form of the German verb aufbringen and functions as a participial adjective. The base verb aufbringen means to raise, to bring forth, or to muster resources, support, or funds. As a participle used attributively, aufgebringten describes nouns that have already been raised or gathered, rather than those that remain to be raised.

Grammatically, aufgebringten is the attributive, plural form (nominative or accusative) or the dative plural form when the accompanying noun is plural and preceded by a definite article or determiner. For example: die aufgebringten Spenden, die aufgebringten Mittel, den aufgebringten Spenden. The form is common in formal or written contexts such as financial reports, project summaries, or legal documents, where the emphasis is on the result of fundraising or resource gathering.

Usage and nuance share similarities with related expressions such as aufbringen (to raise or muster) and Aufbringung (the act of raising or gathering). However, aufgebringten should not be confused with aufgebracht, the past participle often used in the sense of “upset” or “angry” in a predicate context. Although they share the same verb root, their meanings and grammatical usages differ significantly.

Typical contexts include fundraising, budgeting, and logistical planning where it is important to specify that funds or resources have already been collected and are now available or accounted for. Examples in practical use: Die aufgebringten Mittel wurden entsprechend investiert; Die aufgebringten Spenden sind dokumentiert.
