größermaßstäbigen

Größermaßstäbigen is a German adjective form that conveys the sense of being on a larger scale or using a larger scale. It is typically used in technical or planning contexts to describe representations, plans, or models that are drawn, built, or conceived at a more detailed or expansive scale relative to a reference.

The term is a compound built from größer (the comparative form of groß, meaning large) and Maßstab (scale). As an adjective, größermaßstäbig or größermaßstäbige describes noun phrases such as Karten, Pläne or Modelle. The inflected form größermaßstäbigen appears in certain grammatical cases, for example in the dative plural: mit größermaßstäbigen Modellen. In nominative or accusative plural, you typically see größermaßstäbige Karten or größermaßstäbige Modelle.

Usage and contexts are mainly technical. In cartography, architecture, urban planning, and model making, größermaßstäbige representations allow for greater detail and a different level of analysis compared with smaller-scale equivalents. The term signals a deliberate choice of scale that affects precision, readability, and practical application, such as more granular planning of infrastructure or more detailed architectural drawings. Because it is a specialized, somewhat formal term, größermaßstäbigen occurs more often in professional reports, academic texts, or documentation than in everyday language.

Examples include: größermaßstäbige Karten illustrating city blocks with finer detail; größermaßstäbige Pläne for construction projects; mit größermaßstäbigen Modellen in einem Demonstrationslayout. While not common in casual speech, it serves a precise descriptive function in contexts dealing with scale and representation.
