unstrittig

Unstrittig is a German adjective meaning undisputed or not disputed. It is formed with the prefix un- attached to strittig, which denotes something controversial or contested. The term is used to describe statements, facts, or positions that are not argued about within a given context.

In legal and administrative language, unstrittig indicates that the parties do not dispute a particular matter, and it may serve as a basis for decisions, settlements, or conclusions. For example: Der Sachverhalt ist unstrittig. In such contexts, the designation helps to separate uncontested issues from those that require proof or further argument.

Beyond law, unstrittig is common in science, philosophy, journalism, and everyday speech to denote propositions, findings, or interpretations that are widely accepted or not presently contested by the relevant community. It signals a high level of consensus within the scope described, while not guaranteeing absolute truth.

Usage notes: the status of being unstrittig is context-dependent and can change with new evidence or arguments. The term should describe what is uncontested rather than what is proven beyond doubt. Related terms include strittig (disputed) and unbestritten (undisputed).
