swearing-in
The formal act or ceremony in which a person takes an oath, usually when assuming a public office.
Die Vereidigung der neuen Minister findet morgen im Parlament statt.
The swearing-in of the new ministers will take place tomorrow in parliament.
The word is derived from the verb 'vereidigen' (to swear in). The ending '-ung' turns the action of swearing someone in into a noun that describes the ceremony itself.
Die Vereidigung des neuen Bürgermeisters war ein feierlicher Akt.
The swearing-in of the new mayor was a solemn ceremony.
The noun 'der Eid' (the oath) is contained in the word 'Vereidigung' (swearing-in). An oath is a solemn promise that one makes during this act.
Der Zeuge musste vor Gericht einen Eid schwören.
The witness had to swear an oath in court.
A swearing-in 'findet statt' (takes place) or is 'vorgenommen' (carried out). People often speak of the 'Vereidigung von' (swearing-in of) someone or being sworn in 'auf' (to uphold) an office or the Basic Law.
Die Vereidigung der neuen Regierung findet nächste Woche statt.
The swearing-in of the new government will take place next week.
inauguration
Amtseinführung is the entire ceremonial installation of a person in public office. Vereidigung refers specifically to the part in which the person takes the official oath. A Vereidigung can therefore be part of an Amtseinführung, but it is not the same as the entire ceremony.
Bei der Vereidigung der neuen Bürgermeisterin stand das Ablegen des Amtseids im Mittelpunkt.
At the new mayor's swearing-in, taking the official oath was the main focus.
Zur Amtseinführung der neuen Bürgermeisterin gehörten mehrere Reden und ein Empfang.
The inauguration of the new mayor included several speeches and a reception.
