remarkable
Etwas ist so besonders oder auffällig, dass man es beachtet oder darüber spricht.
The German word "bemerkenswert" is an adjective meaning "noteworthy" or "remarkable". It comes from the verb "merken" (to notice or perceive) combined with the suffix "-wert" (worthy), so it literally means "worthy of notice."
