saddler
A craftsperson who makes and repairs saddles, bridles, and other leather goods, especially for horses.
Der Sattler hat den alten Ledersattel meines Großvaters meisterhaft restauriert.
The saddler masterfully restored my grandfather's old leather saddle.
The word 'Sattler' (saddler) is derived directly from 'der Sattel' (the saddle). The ending '-er' is typical in German for job titles and indicates that this person works with saddles.
Ein guter Sattler kann mehr als nur Sättel für Pferde anfertigen.
A good saddler can make more than just saddles for horses.
Since a saddler is a craftsperson, you go to them or bring something to them. Typical phrases are 'etwas zum Sattler bringen' (to bring something to the saddler) or 'zum Sattler gehen' (to go to the saddler).
Ich muss meine alte Ledertasche zum Sattler bringen, um den Riemen reparieren zu lassen.
I have to take my old leather bag to the saddler to have the strap repaired.
Although the word is historically connected with horses, saddlers today often also work on other things. An 'Autosattler' (automotive upholsterer), for example, covers car seats or dashboards with leather.
Der Autosattler hat die Sitze meines Oldtimers mit neuem Leder bezogen.
The automotive upholsterer reupholstered the seats of my vintage car with new leather.
