sendungen

Sendungen are the plural form of the German noun Sendung. The term has several related meanings, depending on context, and is used in media, logistics, and general transmission discussions.

In media and broadcasting contexts, a Sendung refers to a broadcast program on radio or television. It can denote a scheduled show or a single transmission. In everyday usage, audiences may refer to “die Sendung” as the program, while the specific installment of a series is more often called a Folge. Program listings and schedulers frequently mention upcoming Sendungen with start times.

In logistics and shipping, Sendung denotes a shipment or consignment that is sent to a recipient. This usage appears on invoices, carrier documents, and tracking systems, as in “Ihre Sendung wurde versendet” or “Wo befindet sich Ihre Sendung?” A Sendung can consist of a single parcel or larger freight, and it is typically tracked by a tracking number or consignment note.

The term also appears in broader discussions of information transmission, where Sendung conveys the act of sending data or signals to an endpoint, especially in technical or broadcasting contexts. Etymologically, Sendung is related to senden, meaning to send, reflecting the core sense of transmitting or dispatching.

Overall, Sendungen functions as a versatile noun in German, linking schedules of media programs with the practicalities of dispatched goods and, in broader use, the act of transmitting information.
