The process of attaching, mounting, or installing something in a specific place.
Die Anbringung der neuen Lampe an der Decke war komplizierter als gedacht.
The installation of the new lamp on the ceiling was more complicated than expected.
'Anbringung' (installation/attachment) is the nominalization of the separable verb 'anbringen' (to attach/install). The verb means to fasten something in a particular place. The ending '-ung' turns the action into a noun.
Der Hausmeister ist für die Anbringung der neuen Schilder verantwortlich.
The caretaker is responsible for the installation of the new signs.
This word belongs to formal language, administrative language, or technical instructions. In everyday speech, you would more likely use a construction with the verb, e.g. 'Es ist schwierig, das Regal anzubringen.' (It is difficult to mount the shelf.)
Die Anbringung von Werbeplakaten ist hier nur mit Genehmigung erlaubt.

Typically, the object being attached is named with the genitive or with 'von' + dative. The location is indicated with a preposition such as 'an' + dative.

'die Installation' and 'die Anbringung' can both mean that something is set up or mounted in a particular place. 'Installation' is used especially for technical facilities, devices, systems, or software. It is often not just about attaching something, but also about setting it up, connecting it, or starting it. 'Anbringung' mainly means that something is attached or mounted in a specific place, for example a sign, a lamp, or a smoke detector. Learners may confuse the words because both occur in technical work. Rule of thumb: software and technical systems are 'installiert'; individual things are often 'angebracht'.
