bewegbar

Bewegbar is a German adjective meaning movable or able to be moved. It is used to describe objects, parts, or concepts that can be relocated or adjusted, either physically or functionally. In everyday language, something bewegbar can be transported or repositioned with relative ease.

In legal contexts, the term is part of a traditional distinction between movable and immovable property. German civil law refers to „bewegliche Sachen“ (movable objects) and contrasts them with „unbewegliche Sachen“ (immovable property, such as land and buildings). This distinction affects rules for transfer of ownership, possession, and security interests, as well as taxation and insurance coverage. The concept is mirrored in many legal systems under terms like movable property or chattel.

In engineering, robotics, and product documentation, bewegbar often describes components that can move or be adjusted. For example, bewegbare Teile (movable parts) or bewegbarer Arm (movable arm) indicate mechanisms designed to change position during operation or use. The term also appears in contexts emphasizing portability or adaptability, such as tools or devices described as bewegbar or designed for easy relocation.

Etymology and related forms: bewegbar derives from bewegen (to move) with the suffix -bar, meaning capable of or suitable for. The related noun form is Bewegbarkeit (movability or mobility), and the antonym is unbeweglich (immovable).
