Umladung

[Golazo]

This word appears at the top of a German Amtsgericht court document - it's just a single word right at the top

Does it mean anything else in legal terms? I don't think 'Transshipment' fits, which is the only translation I know for it.

Some more context or a picture might be helpful.

Have you been assigned a new date to appear before court? In that case Umladung could simply be the word for the new and updated Einladung (or Vorladung).

Would "re-summoning" work?

Basically a new date for the trial was set and the defandant and witnesses got the updated date and time when they have to appear there.

This confirms #2 and #3, as far as I understand it.
