>> Does anyone know what "verbeamtet" means? As in "jemand, der verbeamtet

Amt = An office (in German)
Beamter = An official, in other words, a civil servant.
verbeamtet = To have the status of an official. Literally, your sentence would
be "someone
who is an official..."
Verbeamtet is one of those words that Germans use only among each other. It's
never in your
Let's Go Germany books.
