I just checked these two words with a dictionary, but I get to the same meaning. Are they interchangeable or should one of them be used in a specific situation?

Guten Tag RexV,
In Germany, there is a slight difference between a Rentner and a Pensionär.
Pensionär = retired people that have worked in the civil service sector.
Rentner = retired people that have worked for privately/publicly owned companies.
I hope that helps,
Leah
