Weltgrößte

Weltgrößte is a German superlative meaning “the largest in the world.” It is formed from Welt (world) and größte (largest) and is used to describe something as the biggest compared with all others in a global context. The term can function attributively before a noun, as in die weltgrößte Statue or das weltgrößte Gebäude, or predicatively in a sentence such as dieses Bauwerk ist die weltgrößte im Land. The form weltgrößte changes with the gender of the noun it modifies: die weltgrößte Statue, das weltgrößte Gebäude, der weltgrößte See.

In usage, weltgrößte is common in journalism, tourism, marketing, and reference works to signal extreme size or record status. Because records change over time, statements using weltgrößte can become outdated; precise measurements or ranking references are often provided to accompany the claim.

Examples of domains in which the term appears include monuments and statues, architectural works, natural formations, bodies of water, museums, and large-scale collections or facilities. The label frequently appears in headlines and promotional material to convey prominence, but it may be qualified or challenged by more exact data (for example, specifying the metric used or the year of the record).

Overall, weltgrößte functions as a concise way to indicate world-leading scale in German, while inviting verification of the underlying measurements or context.
