I have a document which has text in justification format. My text is about explaining something about hyphenation. That is why some examples I give should not automatically be hyphenated to fit the justification format. That is why I used \mbox{} around the text that should not be hyphenated in the following way:

However, in rare cases also compounds of three nouns are hyphenated. For example \mbox{``Brand- und Explosionsschutzbeauftragten''} is incorrectly resolved to ``\mbox{Brandbeauftragten} und \mbox{Explosionsschutzbeauftragten''}, ``Strom- und  \mbox{Wärmeerzeugungsanlagen''} to ``\mbox{Stromanlagen} und\mbox{Wärmeerzeugungsanlagen''}, or ``Konflikt- und \mbox{Problemlösungskompetenz''} to ``\mbox{Konfliktkompetenz} und \mbox{Problemlösungskompetenz}''. In these cases, the hyphen does not substitute only the last but the last two nouns of the regular noun.

However, that leads to such a formatting:

the resulting formatting

How can I evoke a formatting, such that for example a newline follows after 'und'. I can tolerate large spaces between words within a line, but I cannot tolerate any automatic hyphenation or extending the borders of the justification format. Thank you for your help.

    \sloppy allows the white space to stretch although with words that long and no hyphenation you may prefer \raggedright Mar 16, 2021 at 16:19

\sloppy allows the white space to stretch more than the default (\fussy) setting,
