Bus/Financial - 管理 / Environmental and logistic services | | German德语词条或短语： Abf. GF | Very little context unfortunately. This is part of a job title in a list of members of staff at a waste management and logistics company.
----
Assistentin Projektmanagement/Abf.GF

Possibly a bit of a long shot - any one feeling inspired!?
Thanks in advance. Stephen. |
| | 写给提问者或来自提问者的留言Languageman: 11:56 Nov 9, 2005: Thanks for the thoughts. There is no gap in the source text between Abf. and GF - the space was my invention! I thought of "Geschäftsführer", but that seemed a bit strange for someone who's other role was an assistant.
Klaus Herrmann: 12:00 Nov 9, 2005: Can you rule out it's a typo? I would't be surprised if Abf. turns out to be a typo (or ocro) for Abt., Abteilung. Google supports this idea. -
Languageman: 12:07 Nov 9, 2005: Good thinking. No I can't rule out a typo at this stage. I'll check with the customer.
Steffen Walter: 12:16 Nov 9, 2005: Otherwise this could be the Assistentin *des* Geschäftsführers but Klaus's idea is a good one. -
xxxScout2003: 12:21 Nov 9, 2005: another thought, maybe it means Abfall Geschäft or Geschäftszweig -
Languageman: 12:31 Nov 9, 2005: Thanks for all the ideas. I think I´m going to double check this one with the customer to be on the safe side.
Languageman: 09:22 Nov 10, 2005: Note from customer - Just had a note back from the customer, confirming the abbreviation:
----
„Abf.GF“ bedeutet: Abfallrechtlicher Geschäftsführer
----
Stephen Sadie: 09:26 Nov 10, 2005: So it appears that my guess was right! -
Languageman: 09:30 Nov 10, 2005: Aye, you were pretty close for sure, good guessing. Any suggestions as to why it's "Abfallrectlicher"?
Stephen Sadie: 09:34 Nov 10, 2005: that is normally the term for lawful or legal => "resoponsible for" or maybe better "legally responsible for", Stephen. -
Steffen Walter: 09:38 Nov 10, 2005: Is your text Austrian German? "Abfallrechtlicher Geschäftsführer" seems to be confined to Austria - see, for example, http://www.abfallwirtschaft.steiermark.at/cms/beitrag/100608... -
Languageman: 09:43 Nov 10, 2005: It is indeed Austrian German, thanks for the link. I guess I'm going to have to use a verbose explanation here!

| 提问者给回答者的留言Thanks everyone for the detailed help and suggestions. I went with this (with the addition of 'legally') as it seemed the most accurate explanation of the Austrian meaning. I suggested "MD (Waste Law)" as a possible shorter alternative.

| managing director
说明：
GF means definetly Geschäftsführer
Abf usually stands for waste (maybe the person is the managing director of the waste company...)
hope this helps a little

| GF = Geschäftsführer = General Manager/Managing Director
说明：
This might be part of the solution. Abf. *could* stand for Abfall(management) = waste (management) but by no means sure. Is there a blank space between Abf. and GF?

Klaus is right - this might well be "Abt(eilung) GF", whatever GF means here.
