Usage tips
Word family
'Der Einzug' (moving in / entry) is the noun related to the separable verb 'einziehen' (to move in / to enter). The prefix 'ein-' here means movement into something, which explains the noun's different meanings.
EXAMPLE
Nächste Woche ziehen wir in die neue Wohnung ein.
Next week we are moving into the new apartment.
Typical preposition
Since the word describes movement or entry, it is very often used with the preposition 'in' and the accusative: der Einzug in die Wohnung (moving into the apartment), der Einzug ins Finale (entry into the final).
EXAMPLE
Der Einzug in die Endrunde war eine große Überraschung.
Making it into the final round was a big surprise.
Context clue: housing
When it is about moving into an apartment, words like 'Wohnung' (apartment), 'Haus' (house), 'Umzug' (move), 'Möbel' (furniture), or 'Kisten' (boxes) often appear in the context.
EXAMPLE
Wir müssen für den Einzug noch viele Kisten packen.
We still have to pack a lot of boxes for the move-in.
Fixed expression
The abstract meaning 'introduction of something new' is almost always used in the fixed expression 'Einzug halten' (to find its way in / to become established). The subject is the new thing, e.g. a technology or idea.
EXAMPLE
Das Internet hat schnell in fast allen Haushalten Einzug gehalten.
The internet quickly found its way into almost all households.
Context clue: ceremony
You can recognize the meaning 'ceremonial entry' from words like 'feierlich' (ceremonial), 'König' (king), 'Mannschaft' (team), 'Stadion' (stadium), or 'Parade' (parade). It describes a ceremonial act.
EXAMPLE
Der feierliche Einzug des Brautpaares in die Kirche begann.
The ceremonial entry of the bride and groom into the church began.
Context clue: money
When it is about collecting money, terms like 'Bank' (bank), 'Konto' (account), 'Lastschrift' (direct debit), 'Gebühren' (fees), or 'Steuern' (taxes) often appear in the sentence.
EXAMPLE
Der monatliche Einzug der Miete erfolgt immer am Monatsanfang.
The monthly collection of the rent always takes place at the beginning of the month.

Einzug vs Bezug
cover / reference
'der Bezug' and 'der Einzug' can both appear in business or organizational contexts, especially when something is delivered or paid for regularly. 'der Bezug' means the regular receipt of a product or service, for example a newspaper subscription. 'der Einzug', on the other hand, means the collection of money, often automatically from an account. The words can be confused because they sound similar and both have to do with regular processes. The direction is important: with 'Bezug', you receive something; with 'Einzug', money is collected.
Einzug
Der Einzug des Mitgliedsbeitrags erfolgt immer am Anfang des Monats.
The membership fee is always collected at the beginning of the month.
Bezug
Der Bezug der Zeitschrift endet automatisch nach einem Jahr.
The subscription to the magazine ends automatically after one year.
