In contemporary German, the two words are widely treated as synonyms, with Angst being preferred over Furcht. The exception to this is that de Furcht can also express a respectful fear, which de Angst cannot. For example, de Furcht vor dem Vater fear of one's father may be a strong, submissive form of respect, whereas de Angst vor dem Vater would imply fear of paternal misconduct.
