Etymology 1

From Middle High German plān, plāne, from Latin planum, in part through Old French plaine. Secondarily analysable as plan (“level”) +‎ -e (noun-forming suffix). The modern umlaut is based on this reanalysis and/or influenced by Modern French plaine.

Noun

Pläne f (genitive Pläne, plural Plänen)

  1. (dated) Synonym of Ebene (“level surface, plain, flatland”)
