consequently
Expresses that something is the logical or natural consequence of a previous action, decision, or situation.
Da er die Prüfung nicht bestanden hatte, musste er konsequenterweise das Semester wiederholen.
Since he had not passed the exam, he consequently had to repeat the semester.
This adverb is derived from the adjective 'konsequent' (consistent). The ending '-erweise' is attached to adjectives to form adverbs that describe a manner or circumstance.
Er hat hart trainiert und konsequenterweise den Wettkampf gewonnen.
He trained hard and consequently won the competition.
When 'konsequenterweise' (consequently) stands at the beginning of a sentence (position 1), the conjugated verb follows directly in position 2. The subject then comes after the verb.
Die Nachfrage war sehr gering. Konsequenterweise wurde das Produkt vom Markt genommen.
Demand was very low. Consequently, the product was taken off the market.
'Konsequenterweise' (consequently) belongs more to formal written language or an elevated style. It is often found in reports, arguments, or official texts.
Die Firma hat die Sicherheitsvorschriften ignoriert und musste konsequenterweise eine hohe Strafe zahlen.
The company ignored the safety regulations and consequently had to pay a heavy fine.

'deshalb' and 'konsequenterweise' both describe a consequence. 'deshalb' simply gives the reason: something happens because something else happened earlier. 'konsequenterweise' puts more emphasis on the result being logical, appropriate, or consistent. It often sounds somewhat more objective and is used when a decision or action fits exactly with a previous situation. Learners may confuse the words because both point to a consequence. For ordinary reasons, 'deshalb' fits; for a deliberately logical consequence, 'konsequenterweise' fits better.
Meine Mutter isst keinen Zucker mehr und kauft konsequenterweise auch keine süßen Getränke.
My mother no longer eats sugar and, consequently, does not buy any sweet drinks either.
