"Die Genehmigung" refers to the official approval or authorization granted by a competent authority, allowing a person or organization to proceed with a planned action or project, such as construction or an event, ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Etymology
The word "die Genehmigung" originates from the German verb "genehmigen," which means to approve or authorize.
