Fähr

Führ is the stem form of the German verb führen, meaning to lead, guide, or conduct. It is not a stand-alone word in standard modern German; instead it appears as the stem in inflected forms and in many compounds. The verb führen is conjugated: ich führe, du führst, er führt, wir führen, ihr führt, sie führen.

In compounds and derived nouns, the root führ- signals a connection to leading or guiding. Examples include Führung (leadership, guided tour), Führer (leader; historically associated with Adolf Hitler), Führerschein (driving license), Führungsposition (managerial position), Führungszeugnis (certificate of conduct).

The term Führ is also encountered as a surname in German-speaking regions.

Historical note: The word Führer has strong historical connotations; in contemporary German usage, it is largely confined to historical contexts or as part of proper nouns, and the standalone title Führer is avoided outside such contexts.

Linguistic note: führ- functions as a productive bound morpheme in German, appearing in numerous compounds to convey leadership or guiding action.
