Usage notes

 * English “from” is generally expressed by means of, but is often used with words for settlements and territories (like , , , as well as geographical names). One uses  when both the places “from which” and “to which” are given: Dieser Zug fährt von Köln nach Hamburg. – “This train goes from Cologne to Hamburg.” If the further direction is not given, aus is the normal choice: Dieser Zug kommt aus Köln. – “This train is coming from Cologne.” The phrase: Dieser Zug kommt von Köln is not wrong but has a colloquial ring to it.
 * The preposition is used to replace possessive and partitive genitives, sometimes also prepositions that govern the genitive. Such replacement can be obligatory, optional, or restricted to the  register:
 * It is obligatory if the genitive cannot be expressed grammatically, which is the case with common nouns not preceded by any declinable s, s, or s: die Rechte von Kindern (“children’s rights”); der Geschmack von Käse (“the taste of cheese”). This is also true of most singular, demonstrative pronouns and often true of all personal pronouns: der Geschmack von diesem (“the taste of this”); ein Freund von mir (“a friend of mine”); is archaic in modern German.
 * The replacement is optional in cases such as the following:
 * 1.) with those pronouns that do have an applicable genitive form, chiefly plurals: die Arbeit vieler = die Arbeit von vielen (“the work of many”);
 * 2.) with fixed genitive pronoun expressions such as or, for example:  = , or when  follows the personal pronoun in the sense of oneself:  = ;
 * 3.) with the numeral genitives zweier and dreier (see the Declension sections of and );
 * 4.) with proper nouns, particularly geographical names: die Kirchen Roms = die Kirchen von Rom (“the churches of Rome”);
 * 5.) with common nouns preceded only by an adjective: die Rechte kleiner Kinder = die Rechte von kleinen Kindern (“small children’s rights”).
 * The replacement is colloquial in most other cases. Any possessive or partitive genitive can, per se, be replaced with a von-phrase, which is normal in speech, and virtually obligatory in colloquial speech. In formal writing, however, it is generally considered incorrect and unusual. This is one of the gravest grammatical differences between colloquial and literary German.


 * In older usage, Latin nouns often occurred in the ablative case after . This is now obsolete, Latin case inflections never being used in contemporary German (except the genitives of a few personal names).
