resumption
The continuation of an activity, action, or event that had been interrupted.
Die Wiederaufnahme der Bauarbeiten ist für nächsten Montag geplant.
The resumption of construction work is planned for next Monday.
The word is made up of 'Wieder-' (again/re-) and 'Aufnahme' (taking up/resumption). The prefix 'Wieder-' means 'once again' or 'again'. 'Aufnahme' comes from the verb 'aufnehmen' (to take up/record/admit) and here means the beginning or continuation of an activity.
Die Wiederaufnahme der Produktion ist für nächste Woche geplant.
The resumption of production is planned for next week.
'Die Wiederaufnahme' (the resumption) is the noun corresponding to the separable verb 'wieder aufnehmen' (to resume). Both express that something is continued after a pause.
Nach einer kurzen Pause nahmen die Musiker die Probe wieder auf.
After a short break, the musicians resumed the rehearsal.
Similar to other formal nouns, 'Wiederaufnahme' (resumption) is often used with a genitive object that specifies what is being continued.
Die Fans forderten die Wiederaufnahme der beliebten Serie.
The fans demanded the revival of the popular series.
The context makes clear which meaning is intended. Words like 'Arbeit' (work) or 'Gespräche' (talks) point to a general activity. 'Verfahren' (proceedings) or 'Prozess' (trial) refer to the legal field, while 'Theaterstück' (play) or 'Film' (film) mark the cultural context.
Die Wiederaufnahme des Gerichtsverfahrens brachte neue Details ans Licht.
The reopening of the court proceedings brought new details to light.

'die Aufnahme' and 'die Wiederaufnahme' look very similar, but they do not mean the same thing. 'die Aufnahme' means the beginning or starting of an activity or process. 'die Wiederaufnahme' means that something continues after a pause or interruption. The risk of confusion is high because only 'wieder-' is added. But this 'wieder-' is important: 'Aufnahme' is a start, while 'Wiederaufnahme' is a restart after an interruption.

After the long break, the team discusses the resumption of the project.
Die Aufnahme der Arbeit ist für Montag geplant.
