Prepositions of direction (Richtungspräpositionen) describe movement towards a destination.
They often indicate a change in position and are followed by either the accusative or the dative case, depending on the verb and context.
Some common prepositions of direction include:
- in (into)
- auf (onto)
- an (to, on)

- unter (under)
For example: "Ich gehe in das Haus" (I am going into the house), "Ich fahre auf die Straße" (I am driving onto the street).
