'Wiedergeboren' (reborn) is made up of 'wieder' (again) and 'geboren' (born). The image of being born again explains both the religious meaning and the idea of a new beginning after a stressful period.
Nach vielen Jahren des Zweifels fühlte er sich durch seinen Glauben wiedergeboren.
After many years of doubt, his faith made him feel reborn.
Words such as 'Bekehrung' (conversion), 'Glaube' (faith), or 'Christ' (Christian) usually point to the spiritual meaning. Words such as 'Seele' (soul), 'Buddhismus' (Buddhism), or 'früheres Leben' (previous life) point to being reborn after death. In contexts involving rest and renewed energy, words such as vacation, sleep, or overcoming a crisis indicate the figurative meaning.
Nach der Bekehrung sprach die Frau von ihrem Leben als wiedergeborene Christin.
After her conversion, the woman spoke of her life as a born-again Christian.
Nach drei Wochen Ruhe kam er wie wiedergeboren und voller Energie zur Arbeit.
After three weeks of rest, he came to work feeling reborn and full of energy.
This meaning is particularly associated with Christian language. 'Wiedergeboren' (reborn) frequently appears before words from the religious sphere and describes a person who has begun a new spiritual life through their faith.
In seiner Gemeinde erzählt er oft von seinem Leben als wiedergeborener Christ.
In his congregation, he often talks about his life as a born-again Christian.
For the meaning 'refreshed and full of energy', 'wiedergeboren' (reborn) is very often used with 'sich fühlen' (to feel) and 'wie' (like). The construction 'sich wie wiedergeboren fühlen' (to feel reborn) describes the feeling of a new beginning particularly clearly.
Nach einem Bad im kalten See fühle ich mich jedes Mal wie wiedergeboren.
After taking a dip in the cold lake, I feel reborn every time.
