Die nicht-flektierten Adjektive / The uninflected adjectives

Non-inflecting adjectives occur not only in predicative, adverbial, co-predicative-adverbial and adadjectival-attributive function, but also occur regularly in adnominal-attributive function in particular types of text. This can occur in both the preposed and postposed position of the governing nominal core of the noun phrase. In contrast, the adnominal-attributive use in the position between the determinative and the governing nominal core is characteristic of inflected adjectives.
