Routledge publishes "A Frequency Dictionary of German" that might fit the bill; you can see a sample of it on the Amazon.uk site.

I'm working through Fagan's Using German Vocabulary. It has a very helpful section on
word construction and the lists are excellent, plus it's easier to find in the U.S. Unfortunately example sentences are not provided, so I do a lot of google work alongside it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I have the Routledge "A Frequency Dictionary of German," and I've found it an indispensable tool with my German. I don't have the Langenscheidt but just looking at the samples on Amazon it looks slightly different than the Routledge, given that the Langenscheidt is organized by category whereas the Routledge is just a straight descending list of the most used 4,000 words, without categories, and without smaller subdivisions for parts of speech. They say in the foreword that they combined the list from a number of forms of speech, verbal, written in newspapers vs. written in books, etc.
If you are simply aiming to plow through the top, say, 1,000 words, then the Routledge is the best as you don't have to flip back and forth between categories. You'll just see something like this: 616. Fuß (der) 617. Körper (der) 618. notwendig 619. Lösung (die) and so on. Each word has a sample German sentence. There is also an index in the back listing all the words, alphabetically, and referring back to the page where they can be found. I would strongly recommend the Routledge. Enjoy! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

An alternative to the Langenscheidt 4000 book: Lernworthschatz Deutsch by Hueber. I like
it. And there are several bilingual variants so I can use mine for both German and Spanish. 1 person has voted this message useful |
