überstandet is a German word that translates to "survived," "got through," or "overcome" in English. It is the past participle of the verb "überstehen," which means to get through something difficult, to endure, or to survive a challenge, illness, or ordeal.

The word is commonly used in everyday German to describe a situation where a person or group has successfully navigated a period of hardship or danger.
