What is the longest German word?

The Lengthiest Word in German

The title of the longest word in the German language belongs to Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz, which translates roughly to the law concerning the delegation of monitoring beef labeling. Notably, this word is quite specific to a legal context and has fallen out of use in recent times, but it stands as a striking example of the German language’s capacity for compound words.
