'Der Interessierte' (the interested person) is a substantivized adjective: It refers to a person even though no noun such as 'Mann' (man) or 'Teilnehmer' (participant) follows it. For this reason, it often appears directly after an article or another determiner in announcements and takes the appropriate adjective ending.
Jeder Interessierte kann sich vor Beginn der Veranstaltung anmelden.
Anyone interested can register before the event begins.
The word frequently appears in public information and invitations with verbs such as 'sich anmelden' (to register), 'sich informieren' (to find out more), or 'teilnehmen' (to take part). Typical patterns are 'Interessierte können …' (interested people can …) and 'für Interessierte' (for interested people) followed by an offer.
Interessierte können sich online für den Workshop anmelden.
Anyone interested can register for the workshop online.
'Der Interessierte' (the interested person) is especially common in announcements, forms, and official information when people with a particular interest are addressed in general terms. The specific subject of interest often appears with 'an' (in) or is understood from the context.
