Aushang vs Hinweis

hint / notice

'der Hinweis' and 'der Aushang' can both be written information that other people are supposed to read. A 'Hinweis' can take many different forms: a sentence, a sign, a warning, or a short piece of information. An 'Aushang' is more specifically a public notice that is visibly posted in a place, for example on a bulletin board or on a door. The words can be confused when a 'Hinweis' is posted. In that case, it is a 'Hinweis' in terms of content, but an 'Aushang' in terms of form. 'Hinweis' emphasizes the information; 'Aushang' emphasizes the visible public notice.

Visual example for Hinweis
Aushang

Am schwarzen Brett hängt ein Aushang zum Sommerfest.

There is a notice about the summer party on the bulletin board.

Hinweis
