anlegen في 30 ثانية
- To dock or moor a ship.
- Bringing a vessel to a harbor or pier and securing it.
- The nautical term for docking a boat or ship.
- Securing a vessel at a dock or quay.
- Core Definition
- 'Anlegen' primarily refers to the act of bringing a ship, boat, or other vessel into a dock, harbor, or alongside a quay or pier, and securing it. It's the nautical term for docking or mooring.
- Beyond the Dock
- While its most common usage is related to maritime activities, the verb can also be used in a slightly broader sense to describe bringing something to a halt or placing it somewhere in a controlled manner, though this is less frequent and often context-dependent. For instance, one might 'anlegen' a tool on a workbench, but this is not the primary meaning.
The captain decided to anlegen the yacht at the most sheltered spot in the bay.
After a long journey, the ferry will anlegen at the terminal around noon.
- Synonymous Concepts
- The act of 'anlegen' involves securing the vessel. This means tying it up with ropes (festmachen), bringing it alongside a structure (anlegen an), or entering a specific place like a dock (in den Hafen anlegen). The goal is always to make the boat stable and safe.
- Everyday Scenarios
- Imagine yourself on a sailing trip. After a day of navigating the waters, you need to find a place to spend the night. You'll look for a marina, a small harbor, or a suitable spot along the coast where you can safely 'anlegen'. The harbor master might even give you instructions on where to 'anlegen'.
The small fishing boat had to anlegen quickly due to the changing weather.
We watched the large cruise ship slowly anlegen at the pier.
- Basic Structure
- The most straightforward way to use 'anlegen' is with a subject (the ship or person operating it) and a location indicated by a preposition. Common prepositions are 'an' (to/at) and 'in' (in/into).
- Indicating the Destination
- When specifying where the vessel is being docked, you'll often see phrases like 'an den Steg anlegen' (to dock at the pier), 'an die Boje anlegen' (to moor to the buoy), or 'in den Hafen anlegen' (to dock in the harbor). The accusative case is typically used after 'an' and 'in' when indicating movement or direction towards a place.
Der Kapitän wird das Boot anlegen neben dem größeren Schiff.
- Adding Context
- Sentences can be expanded to include the reason for docking, the time, or the conditions. For example, 'Wir müssen hier anlegen, weil der Sturm aufzieht.' (We have to dock here because the storm is brewing.)
Die Segelboote legen im kleinen Yachthafen an.
- Complex Scenarios
- More complex sentences might involve passive voice or modal verbs. For instance, 'Das Schiff wird in wenigen Minuten an der Mole anlegen.' (The ship will dock at the mole in a few minutes.) or 'Wir müssen bald anlegen, um Proviant zu kaufen.' (We must dock soon to buy provisions.)
Der Fischer wird sein Boot am Ufer anlegen.
Sie planten, in der kleinen Bucht anzulegen, um zu übernachten.
Die Fähre muss pünktlich anlegen, um den Fahrplan einzuhalten.
- Maritime Discourse
- The most common place to hear 'anlegen' is in contexts related to boats, ships, sailing, and ports. This includes conversations among sailors, fishermen, port authorities, and even tourists discussing their travel plans or observing maritime activities. You'll hear it on ferries, in yacht clubs, and at harbor master offices.
- Travel and Tourism
- When people talk about taking a ferry, a cruise, or even a short boat trip, 'anlegen' is the verb used to describe the arrival and docking process. Travel agencies, booking websites, and travel guides might use it to describe the itinerary of a cruise or ferry service.
Der Reiseleiter erklärte, wann das Schiff im nächsten Hafen anlegen würde.
- News and Weather Reports
- Maritime news, shipping forecasts, and weather reports often mention 'anlegen' when discussing the arrival or departure of vessels, or when advising on safe docking conditions. For instance, a report might state that due to strong winds, some boats might have difficulty 'anlegen'.
Wegen des Sturms mussten viele Schiffe weiter draußen auf See bleiben, anstatt anzulegen.
- Documentaries and Educational Content
- Documentaries about seafaring, historical shipwrecks, or the operation of ports will frequently use 'anlegen' to describe the actions of vessels. Educational materials for aspiring sailors or maritime professionals will also heavily feature this verb.
Der Museumsführer erklärte, wie die alten Handelsschiffe früher hier anlegten.
Die Nachrichtensprecherin berichtete, dass das Schiff aufgrund der schlechten Sicht noch nicht anlegen konnte.
Wenn du ein Boot mietest, musst du lernen, wie man sicher anlegt.
- Confusing with 'legen'
- A common mistake for learners is to confuse 'anlegen' with the simpler verb 'legen' (to lay, to put). While 'anlegen' contains 'legen', its specific meaning of docking is crucial. Using 'legen' when you mean 'anlegen' would be nonsensical in a maritime context. For example, saying 'Ich lege das Schiff' (I lay the ship) instead of 'Ich lege das Schiff an' (I dock the ship) is incorrect.
- Incorrect Preposition Usage
- Choosing the wrong preposition can change the meaning or make the sentence grammatically incorrect. While 'an' and 'in' are most common for docking, other prepositions might be used in different, less direct senses of 'anlegen' (like 'anlegen an etwas' - to start something, to invest in something, which are different meanings). Stick to 'an' and 'in' for the primary meaning of docking.
Mistake: Ich lege das Boot in den Hafen. (Grammatically awkward, implies laying the boat down.)
Correct: Ich lege das Boot im Hafen an. (The boat docks in the harbor.) or Ich lege das Boot in den Hafen an. (The boat is brought into the harbor to dock.)
- Misunderstanding Separable Prefixes
- As a separable prefix verb, 'anlegen' needs its prefix 'an' to move to the end of the sentence in main clauses. Forgetting this rule leads to errors. For example, 'Ich anlege das Boot' is incorrect. The correct structure is 'Ich lege das Boot an.' This is a common challenge for learners of German verbs with separable prefixes.
Mistake: Der Kapitän anlegt im Hafen.
Correct: Der Kapitän legt im Hafen an.
- Overgeneralization
- Learners might try to apply 'anlegen' to situations where it doesn't fit. For instance, trying to use it for parking a car ('das Auto anlegen') or landing an airplane ('die Maschine anlegen') would be incorrect. Specific verbs exist for these actions (e.g., 'parken', 'landen').
Mistake: Wir müssen das Flugzeug anlegen.
Correct: Wir müssen das Flugzeug landen.
Mistake: Der Fahrer legt das Auto an die Seite.
Correct: Der Fahrer parkt das Auto am Straßenrand.
Mistake: Sie legt die Kleidung an.
Correct: Sie zieht die Kleidung an. (This is a different meaning of 'anlegen' - to put on clothes.)
- 'Festmachen' vs. 'Anlegen'
- While 'anlegen' describes the overall action of bringing a vessel to a halt and securing it, 'festmachen' specifically refers to the act of tying the boat up with ropes. You 'anlegen' in a harbor, and then you 'festmachen' the boat to the dock. 'Festmachen' is a part of the process of 'anlegen'.
- 'Ankern' (To Anchor)
- 'Ankern' means to drop anchor. This is a way to secure a boat, but it's different from docking or mooring at a pier. You would 'ankern' in a bay or a roadstead, not usually in a harbor or at a quay. So, 'ankern' is a method of staying put, but 'anlegen' is about coming alongside a fixed structure.
After they anlegten, they needed to festmachen the boat securely.
- 'Eintreffen'/'Ankommen' (To Arrive)
- These verbs mean 'to arrive'. While a ship 'kommt an' or 'trifft ein' at its destination, 'anlegen' describes the specific action of docking or mooring once it has arrived. So, arrival is the general concept, and docking is the specific action of securing the vessel at the arrival point.
- 'Ablegen' (To Depart)
- 'Ablegen' is the direct opposite of 'anlegen' in the maritime context. It means to cast off, to set sail, or to depart from a dock or harbor. While 'anlegen' is about arriving and securing, 'ablegen' is about leaving and setting off.
The ferry kam an and then legte an the pier.
- 'Andocken' (To Dock)
- 'Andocken' is very similar to 'anlegen' and often used interchangeably, especially for larger vessels or when referring to docking at specific facilities like cruise terminals or dry docks. 'Andocken' can sometimes imply a more technical or precise connection, like docking with a space station. For general harbor docking, 'anlegen' is more common.
The cargo ship had to anlegen at the dedicated port, while the smaller boats could anlegen anywhere.
After the long voyage, the captain was eager to ablegen and rest.
They decided to ankern in the bay because the harbor was full.

Anlegen vs. Ablegen

While often used interchangeably for docking, 'anlegen' is more general. 'Andocken' can sometimes imply a more technical or precise connection, especially for larger vessels or specific facilities.

Master Separable Prefixes
Remember that 'anlegen' is a separable prefix verb. In main clauses, the prefix 'an-' goes to the end of the sentence. Practice forming sentences like 'Das Schiff legt an.' to internalize this rule.
Anlegen vs. Ablegen
To avoid confusion, remember that 'anlegen' is about arrival and securing (coming 'an'), while 'ablegen' is about departure (going 'ab', away). Think of 'an' for 'at the dock' and 'ab' for 'off from the dock'.
Anlegen vs. Andocken
While often used interchangeably for docking, 'anlegen' is more general. 'Andocken' can sometimes imply a more technical or precise connection, especially for larger vessels or specific facilities.
