so, dass etwas in einem offiziellen Schriftstück festgehalten oder nachgewiesen ist.

The German word "urkundlich" is an adjective meaning "documented" or "officially recorded". It is derived from the noun "Urkunde", which means "document", "certificate", or "deed".

Similar words include:

  • "belegt" (proven, documented)
  • "schriftlich" (written)
  • "offiziell" (official)

Difference:

  • "Urkundlich" specifically emphasizes evidence based on formal documents or records.
  • "Belegt" can be broader, meaning something is proven or supported with evidence, not necessarily by a formal document.
  • "Schriftlich" refers generally to anything in written form, not necessarily certified or official.
  • "Offiziell" focuses more on formal authorization rather than the physical documentation itself.
