ausführender

Ausführender is a German noun derived from the verb ausführen, meaning to execute, carry out, or perform. The term designates a person who carries out tasks, duties, or instructions—an implementer or executor in a broad sense. It is used in ordinary language to refer to someone responsible for carrying out prescribed work or orders within an organization.

In the performing arts, Ausführender can describe a performer who executes a musical, theatrical, or dance piece. In this context it emphasizes the act of execution or rendering of a work rather than the creator or director. The expression is usually understood as encompassing musicians, actors, dancers, and similar artists when focusing on the performance itself.

In business, administrative, or contractual settings, Ausführender denotes the party tasked with delivering the agreed services or works. It identifies the entity responsible for the actual execution of a project, as opposed to planners, clients, or supervisory bodies. The term thus functions as a functional label for the implementer in project documentation or procurement texts.

Grammatical notes: the word is masculine in the singular (der Ausführende) and has a feminine form (die Ausführende, with variants such as Ausführenderin in certain styles). Plural is die Ausführenden. The term is generally neutral and can be used across contexts to emphasize action and execution rather than designation or origin.
