Usage tips
Participle as adjective
'Erhoben' is the past participle of the verb 'erheben' (to raise / to collect / to levy). It is used as an adjective to describe a state that has resulted from the action of 'Erheben'. So something has already been collected or brought upward.
EXAMPLE
Die erhobene Gebühr muss bis Ende des Monats bezahlt werden.
The collected fee must be paid by the end of the month.
Context clue
You can recognize the meaning of 'erhoben' (collected/raised) from the noun: in connection with 'Daten' (data), 'Gebühren' (fees), or 'Steuern' (taxes), it means 'collected'. In connection with body parts like 'Kopf' (head) or 'Hand' (hand), it means 'held up'.
EXAMPLE
Alle für die Umfrage erhobenen Daten sind anonym.
All data collected for the survey is anonymous.
Typical collocations
In this meaning, you often find 'erhoben' in formal or official contexts. Typical combinations are 'erhobene Daten' (collected data), 'erhobene Gebühren' (charged fees), and 'erhobene Anklage' (charges brought).
EXAMPLE
Die neu erhobene Steuer betrifft nur importierte Waren.
The newly imposed tax affects only imported goods.
Use with 'mit'
To describe a gesture or posture, 'erhoben' is often used in the construction 'mit + dative + erhobenem/erhobener...' (with + raised...). This emphasizes the manner in which something is done.
EXAMPLE
Der Redner stand mit erhobener Hand vor dem Publikum.
The speaker stood before the audience with his hand raised.
Compare with
erhoben vs edel
noble / fine
'Edel' and 'erhoben' can both express something high-quality, solemn, or special. 'Edel' is used more for things, materials, products, or also for a good moral attitude. So you can have 'ein edles Kleid' (an elegant dress), 'ein edler Wein' (a fine wine), or 'eine edle Tat' (a noble deed). 'Erhoben' fits especially with feelings, music, words, or a mood and sounds solemn. In everyday language, 'edel' is much more common and concrete; 'erhoben' sounds more elevated or literary.
erhoben
Nach dem Konzert ging Hannah mit einem erhobenen Gefühl nach Hause.
After the concert, Hannah went home with an uplifted feeling.
edel
Auf dem Tisch stand eine edle Vase aus dunklem Glas.
On the table stood an elegant vase made of dark glass.
