German term or phrase: interessierte offenbar nicht
Doch die Stadt wollte das nicht genehmigen: Unabhängig vom Wetter dürfe die Bühne nur dort stehen, wo es genehmigt wurde. "Die zu erwartende Gefährdung der Teilnehmer i***nteressierte offenbar nicht***", sagte Eich der "WAZ". Der Stadtdirektor Peter Greulich habe nach seinem Empfinden "die Staatskanzlei bloßstellen wollen".

Explanation:
this is more or less the literal translation for this phrase. 'Offenbar' is 'obviously' in English, 'interessierte nicht' translates 'was not of interest'

agree  Horst Huber (X): No, "obviously" is "offensichtlich", "offenbar" is closer to "to all appearances".

  -> Thanks Horst, valid point :) However in this context 'obviously' would be the better translation for 'offenbar'.
