C1.2 · Präpositionale Konnektoren

Präpositionale Konnektoren: aufgrund, angesichts, mittels (academic genitive prepositions)

In academic texts, cause, means and purpose are often expressed with genitive prepositions: aufgrund (because of), angesichts (in view of), zwecks (for the purpose of), mittels (by means of), infolge (as a result of), zugunsten (in favour of). You will work out the correct form yourself in the exercise. All exercise content is in German.

Recognise: match the subordinating conjunction with the preposition that has the same meaning. Written German turns the clause into a noun phrase.

C1 · PRAEPOSITIONALE KONNEKTOREN GENITIV
Linking with Genitive Prepositions: C1 Exercises (angesichts, aufgrund, infolge, mittels, anhand, zwecks)

One of the cornerstones of formal and academic German at C1 is prepositions followed by the Genitiv. They add a reason, a basis, a means or a purpose to the sentence: aufgrund and infolge give the cause of a result (aufgrund des schlechten Wetters, infolge der Krise), angesichts expresses an attitude towards a situation (angesichts der steigenden Preise), mittels and anhand show a means or evidence (mittels eines Algorithmus, anhand der Daten), and zwecks states a purpose (zwecks besserer Koordination). The structure is always the same: preposition + noun phrase in the Genitiv; with masculine/neuter nouns the article and noun take -s/-es (des Projektes). Most of the time they are the denser, nominalised equivalent of a weil or um zu clause.

📌
Golden rule: After linking prepositions that take the Genitiv (aufgrund, infolge, angesichts, mittels, anhand, zwecks), masculine/neuter nouns take des … -(e)s, feminine and plural nouns take der.

The interactive exercise has you fit each preposition into its context: you choose the right preposition or put the noun phrase into the Genitiv; after every answer the system gives instant, reasoned feedback, explaining why it is angesichts rather than infolge or why the article has to be des/der. That way you build a feel for usage instead of memorising rules. It is especially useful if you are preparing for Goethe-Zertifikat C1, telc C1 Hochschule, TestDaF or the DSH; the writing and reading parts of these exams expect exactly this kind of nominalised structure with prepositions. You work at your own pace and repeat the prepositions you are less sure of as often as you like.
