German term or phrase: Anleiterbarkeit
....d. h. die Möglichkeit, eine Leiter an ein Gebäude zu lehnen. Gibt es dafür einen feststehenden engl. Begriff oder reicht einfach "ladder accessible"? Der Begriff kommt in der Legende eines Rettungsplans vor, daher muß ich mich recht kurz fassen.

Danke im Voraus,

Antje

  -> I did not put in a discussion entry. Also, I do not see the word 'support' in your contribution, therefore, I put in my own as I feel that this term is the core of the matter. You do not want the wall to fall over if you lean a ladder on it.

Künftig", strahlt Gedaschko, "heißt es dann im Amtsschreiben eben nicht mehr: ,Stellen Sie die Anleiterbarkeit sicher', sondern: ,Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Rettungsleitern der Feuerwehr am Gebäude angelehnt werden könne'. Das kann jeder beim ersten Lesen verstehen."

Also leider, Antje, ist deine Interpretation nicht richtig.
