How to Say “Webpage” in German

By •
Webseite
The English phrase 'webpage' is translated into German as Webseite.
Webseite is a common way to say webpage in German. While it specifically refers to a single document on the internet that can be viewed in a web browser, German speakers also frequently use it to refer to an entire website.

Which one should you use?

German speakers often adopt the English word Website to refer to a website. The English loanword Webpage is also used in German, but Webseite is more common in standard German. Note that while Webseite can mean a single webpage, it is also frequently used in common usage to mean an entire website.

How does it change in a sentence?

Webseite is a feminine noun and takes the definite article die. The plural form of Webseite is Webseiten.

Did you know?

  • The word Seite within Webseite carries multiple meanings beyond just a 'page'. It is the same word used to describe the 'side' of a building or a 'side' of a person.
  • In formal German contexts, you may see the term Internetseite used instead of Webseite. This reflects a preference for using 'Internet' as the descriptive modifier rather than the more metaphorical 'web'.
  • The word Webseite is a calque, meaning it was created by translating the English components 'web' and 'page' literally into German.

Examples in context

  • Wie lädt man ein Foto von dieser Webseite runter?
    How do you download a photo from that webpage?
    This sentence is useful for asking how to download a photo from the Webseite.
