I thought that for verbs of movement like gehen, accusative should be used. While the last 4 sentences agree with this, the first three sentences are using dative, why? Isn't zu a two-way preposition?

    You already know all of the necessary concepts, and indeed “zu” is not a two-way preposition. – Carsten S Jan 17 at 12:12

    @CarstenS So zu takes only dative? If that is so, does the case a preposition takes have precedence over the rule that movement verbs should use the accusative? – mathlover Jan 17 at 12:25

    That rule is for two-way prepositions only, that’s why they form a class worth having a name. Whenever there is a preposition, it determines the case. It’s just that those ten (according to my first google result) prepositions can go both ways, depending on meaning. – Carsten S Jan 17 at 12:44
