Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Umsiedlung appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
„Von den 1,5 Millionen Volksdeutschen, die nach den vorangegangenen Umsiedlungen dort lebten, gelangten nur etwa 400.000 aufs Reichsgebiet.“
„Für die von 1948 bis 1950 vorgenommenen, zahlenmäßig geringen Umsiedlungen, deren Summe nur einen Bruchteil jener von 1946 bis 1947 erreichte (erfasst wurden knapp 140000 Personen), wäre schon der Begriff der Zwangsaussiedlung, geschweige denn der Vertreibung, irreführend.“
