geführter

Geführt is a German word formed from the verb führen, meaning to lead or guide. The form geführter functions as an adjective meaning “led” or “guided,” and is commonly used to describe activities or experiences that involve a guide or supervision. Typical usage appears in phrases such as ein geführter Rundgang (a guided tour), eine geführte Besichtigung, or ein geführtes Programm. When declined, geführter follows normal German adjective endings: ein geführter Rundgang (masculine, nominative), eine geführte Tour (feminine), ein geführtes Museum (neuter), geführte Rundgänge (plural), etc.

Geführt can also be used as a noun (substantiviertes Adjektiv) in some contexts to refer to the person who is being guided, written as Der Geführte or Die Geführten, though this usage is relatively rare and typically seen in formal, procedural, or descriptive texts rather than everyday speech.

Etymology and usage context: gefü ht stammt vom Verb führen. The prefix ge- marks the past participle form used as an adjective, describing something that has been led or supervised. In tourism, education, or corporate settings, geführte activities emphasize the involvement of a guide or leader.

Notes: The word itself is neutral and widely applicable across fields where guided activities occur. In German, care should be taken in noun form to avoid confusion with the politically charged term Führer; when referring to a guide in tours, it is common to use Guide or the phrase geführter Rundgang rather than relying on potentially ambiguous noun forms.
