Here is what I have compiled:
Gemeinsmann = citizen, parishioner, man of the community, community
member, common man, commoner
"Gemeindtsmann" ( gemeiner Mann ) is in the old German language the
same as Bürger or Einwohner
Hello, Trevor,
I think "citizen" is the best word for it = "Bürger". "Einwohner" is simply
someone who resides there. But the word says nothing about his rights.
Citizen = Bürger is much better.
