consideration
Behavior in which you take other people's feelings, interests, or circumstances into account and adjust your own actions accordingly.
Gegenseitige Rücksichtnahme ist für ein gutes Zusammenleben unerlässlich.
Mutual consideration is essential for living together well.
The word is a compound of 'Rücksicht' (consideration) and 'Nahme' (an old form of 'Nehmen' (taking)). It describes the act of 'Rücksicht-Nehmen' (taking others into consideration) as a noun.
Die laute Musik zeugt nicht gerade von Rücksichtnahme.
The loud music is not exactly a sign of consideration.
If you want to say what the consideration refers to, you use the preposition 'auf' followed by the accusative.
Der Fahrer zeigte wenig Rücksichtnahme auf die Fußgänger.
The driver showed little consideration for the pedestrians.
'Rücksichtnahme' (consideration) is often combined with the verbs 'üben' (to practice/exercise), 'zeigen' (to show), or 'beweisen' (to demonstrate). You can also say 'um Rücksichtnahme bitten' (to ask for consideration).
Wir bitten um gegenseitige Rücksichtnahme im Treppenhaus.
We ask for mutual consideration in the stairwell.
respect
'Respekt' (respect) and 'Rücksichtnahme' (consideration) can both describe taking other people seriously and treating them well. 'Respekt' is the general attitude: you respect the person, their rights, or their feelings. 'Rücksichtnahme' is more about concrete behavior: you adjust your own actions so that they do not harm or burden others. The words can be confused because consideration is often a sign of respect. If you mean the inner attitude, 'Respekt' fits. If you want to emphasize that someone is being quieter, waiting, or paying attention to other people's needs, 'Rücksichtnahme' is more precise.
Nach der Arbeit bittet der Vater um Rücksichtnahme, weil das Baby schon schläft.
After work, the father asks for consideration because the baby is already asleep.
Ihr Respekt vor den Nachbarn zeigt sich darin, dass sie abends leise ist.
Her respect for the neighbors shows in the fact that she is quiet in the evening.
