bemerkenswerterweise

Bemerkenswerterweise is a German adverb meaning “remarkably” or “notably.” It is used to indicate that a statement follows which the speaker regards as unusual, noteworthy, or significant. The term often introduces a surprising or positively surprising fact and sets a formal or literary tone.

Etymology and form: the word is built from the adjective bemerkenswert (worthy of note, remarkable) plus the suffix -erweise, which yields an adverbial form indicating manner. The literal sense is “in a way that is remarkable.” Because of its formal register, bemerkenswerterweise appears more commonly in written language, journalism, or carefully composed speech, and is less frequent in everyday conversation. It can carry a hint of irony or tongue-in-cheek emphasis depending on context.

Usage and nuance: bemerken­swerterweise is typically employed to foreground a finding, outcome, or observation that stands out from the ordinary. It signals the speaker’s evaluation of relevance or importance, rather than mere surprise. Due to its elevated tone, it should be used selectively to avoid sounding pretentious in casual or informal discourse.

Example: Bemerkenswerterweise erreichten alle Beteiligten pünktlich das Ziel, obwohl erhebliche Verzögerungen erwartet worden waren. Another example could highlight an unexpected consistency or achievement in a difficult situation.
