Fachseite

Fachseite is a German term used to describe a page or section within a publication, website, or database that is dedicated to a specific subject area or discipline. The word combines Fach, meaning field or subject, with Seite, meaning page, and is typically used in German-speaking media, libraries, and digital platforms.

In publishing and media, a Fachseite serves as a topic-centric hub. It aggregates content related to a particular field such as medicine, technology, economics, or law. Such pages may include news items, background articles, explainers, expert opinions, bibliographies, and links to further resources. In library catalogs and reference works, Fachseiten function as navigational aids that guide readers to related materials, terminology, and specialized databases.

In digital environments, Fachseiten often feature a curated mix of resources and enhanced navigation. They may offer subpages for subtopics, keyword tagging, or filters to help users find articles, datasets, standards, or case studies relevant to the field. Accessibility and clarity are commonly emphasized to accommodate researchers, students, professionals, and educators who seek subject-specific information efficiently.

A Fachseite is distinct from a general article or a broad overview. It is designed to organize and present content around a defined Fachgebiet (subject area), providing a centralized access point rather than scattered mentions across multiple pages. While the term is most common in German, English-language equivalents include topic page, subject page, or topic-specific landing page.
