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 erhöht
increased / elevated
