unteilbare

Unteilbar is a German adjective meaning indivisible or inseparable, used to describe things that cannot be divided into smaller parts without losing their essential character. The base form is unteilbar; declined forms include unteilbare (feminine singular or plural) and unteilbares (neuter). Examples: eine unteilbare Idee, unteilbare Rechte, die unteilbare Würde. In noun phrases, the adjective commonly appears before the noun to express a fundamental, cohesive quality.

In mathematics and logic, unteilbar is used in an informal sense to denote objects that cannot be factored into smaller components. In number theory, prime numbers are often described as unteilbar with respect to divisors other than 1 and themselves, though the standard technical term is Primzahl. The concept also appears in abstract algebra as a marker of atoms or irreducible elements in certain structures.

In ethics and political discourse, unteilbar is used to express the idea that certain values, rights, or communities should remain united or protected from exclusion. Phrases such as unteilbare Werte or unteilbare Rechte are common, and the slogan Wir sind unteilbar (We are indivisible) has been used in protests and public statements to emphasize inclusion and social cohesion. The term also appears in constitutional and human-rights language when describing the inalienable or foundational character of certain principles, such as human dignity, which is often framed as unteilbar.
