You can recognize the meaning of 'Pavillon' (pavilion) from the context. If it involves a 'Garten' (garden), 'Park' (park), or 'Messe' (trade fair), it refers to the small building. In connection with 'Krankenhaus' (hospital), 'Schule' (school), or 'Hauptgebäude' (main building), it refers to a separate part of a building.
Auf der Messe präsentiert die Firma ihre Produkte in einem eigenen Pavillon.
At the trade fair, the company presents its products in its own pavilion.
When the pavilion serves as a place of shelter, the preposition 'unter' (under) is often used. When you are inside it, you use 'in' (in). Both prepositions take the dative when describing a location.
Wir warteten unter dem Pavillon, bis der Regen aufhörte.
We waited under the pavilion until the rain stopped.
In the meaning of a building section, 'Pavillon' (pavilion) is often combined with adjectives like 'separat' (separate), 'eigen' (own), or 'abgetrennt' (detached/separate). Common verbs are 'sich befinden' (to be located) or 'untergebracht sein' (to be housed).
Die Intensivstation ist in einem separaten Pavillon untergebracht.
The intensive care unit is housed in a separate pavilion.
tent
A tent and a pavilion can both provide shelter at an event. A tent is a larger fabric structure supported by poles; a pavilion is a small, often open or lightweight building. Zelt is appropriate for a large event space, while Pavillon is more suitable for an open shelter.
