The German word "Einrichtung" is a noun meaning "facility," "institution," or "furnishing" depending on the context.
It is derived from the verb "einrichten":
- ein = in, into
- richten = to arrange, to set up
So, "Einrichtung" literally relates to the act of setting up or arranging something.
Similar words:
- Anstalt (institution, establishment)

- Möblierung relates strictly to furniture, not to facilities or organizations.
- Betrieb refers more to the business operation or enterprise aspect rather than the setup or furnishings.
