# Featured Image Prompt: Fehlzeiten

**Post:** lexikon/fehlzeiten
**Topic:** Fehlzeiten, Abwesenheitszeiten, Fehltage, Oberbegriff
**Last Updated:** 2026-03-19

## Scene Type

WINDOW (soft light through window onto minimal desk – conveys quiet absence, data/overview). Distinct from fehlzeitenmanagement (DESK – tablet with roster blocks), absentismus (DESK – empty chair), abwesenheitsmanagement (ABSTRACT). Fehlzeiten = Oberbegriff für alle Abwesenheitszeiten – the data/phenomenon. A calm workspace by a window suggests the moments when someone is absent, without the "empty chair" metaphor of absentismus.

- Blurred plant or single abstract object – no text, no documents with content

## Composition / Camera

Wide shot, slight angle, window as secondary element. Soft shadows, natural texture.

## Mood / Atmosphere

Calm, organized, overview – the quiet of documented absence
