German Prepositions Songs: Accusative, Dative, & Two-Way Prepositions

Songs to help you remember the prepositions for the accusative and dative cases along with the two-way prepositions (Wechselpräpositionen). This video includes a German Accusative Preposition Song, a German Dative Preposition Song and TWO German Two-Way Preposition Songs. The Accusative Preposition song is something I made up on the spot. I only included the 5 most used accusative prepositions in German (für, um, durch, ohne, gegen). The Dative Preposition song is to the tune of "An der schönen blauen Donau" (By The Beautiful Blue Danube). The dative prepositions included in this song are aus, außer, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, and zu. The first two-way preposition song is to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and the second two-way preposition song is to the tune of "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain". The two-way prepositions included in these songs are an, auf, hinter, in, neben, über, unter, vor, and zwischen. I hope you enjoy these songs.

I had been trying to learn this for a year and i sang this song every day like for a week. I have learned this now. THANK YOU.

You have an elegant voice to demonstrate us those complex prepositions. It is hard to memorize. We got this. This is an interesting concept. You have learned those prepositions a long time ago. You are an amazing german teacher Danke.

This is really truly brilliant and helps a LOT. Especially love the little dance (reminds me of 'chicken dance') with wechselpreposition which helps me remember even better.. I guess I might be doing that little wechselpreposition dance in my exam hall on Monday for my A2 prufung. Thank you so much for this. I have no doubt that you've helped thousands around the world learn German in a more fun and effective way. Greetings from Bonn, Germany :)

For the Wechselpräpositionen I like to use the tune of 'if you're happy and you know it clap your hands' so it goes:

Vor und hinter über unter neben an;
vor und hinter über unter neben an;
zwischen zwischen auf und in,
zwischen zwischen auf und in,
vor und hinter über unter neben an.

For the dative case I use the tune from Ode to Joy (Ode an die Freude)

Ab, aus, ausser,
ge-gen-ü-ber,
von seit bei mit
nach, und zu; (repeat)
Ab, aus, ausser,
ge-gen-ü-ber,
von seit bei mit
nach, und zu

Hope that helps :))

You forgot "bis" in Akkusativ, could very well be sang: fur um durch bis ohne gegen
And "gegenüber" and "ab" in Dativ.

Phu wie langweliges Video bitte! Sorry Lewi, natürlich möchte dir keinen W tun! Das ist nur eine Meinung! Phu... has t du darüber gehört daß es war schneit in Österreich, Deutschland, Italien und auf dem Kendig Berg hier in Ungarn? Das ist Mei bitte! "Hoffe" daß ist kein Schnee in Schikago oder Edwardsville! Wir geht es deiner Familie? In Komitat Bekesch, wo lebe ich, s ist ein scheiße langweöiges graues Wetter heute. Und manchmal es ist regnet.
