+ '''Veranstaltung''' ''f'' (genitive Veranstaltung, plural Veranstaltungen)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed [[af|de|veranstalten|-ung]].^(Wiktionary)^(Wiktionary DE)^(Duden 7 2007) The verb, “to organise, stage”, is not found in the older language: it was formed in the first half of the 18th century and is first recorded by Frisch in 1741.^(Pfeifer 1993)^(Paul 2002)^(DWB|25, 78) It is a derivative with [[ver-]] of [[Anstalt|t=arrangement, preparation]], and replaced the older [[anstellen]] “to organise”, as in ein Fest anstellen.^(Kluge 2011|48)^(Pfeifer 1993)

+

+ That noun is [[gmh|anstalt]] (15th century), formed on the pattern of the older abstract nouns in -t from the same verb, in its sense “to arrange, set up”, and so belongs to [[stellen]].^(Kluge 2011|48)^(Pfeifer 1993)

+ Paul finds ''Veranstaltung'' first in Adelung.^(Paul 2002) The Grimms' first sense is the careful arranging of something, as in Gellert: ''durch meine Veranstaltung'' “through my arrangements”.^(DWB|25, 79)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ The phrase ''auf Veranstaltung'' took an adverbial sense, “at the instigation of”, as in Kotzebue and Gutzkow.^(DWB|25, 79) The word also came to mean the thing arranged, already in Wieland.^(DWB|25, 79) The verb is used of gatherings, balls and concerts in Goethe and today chiefly of social events, which has made ''Veranstaltung'' the general word for an organised event.^(DWB|25, 78)^(Paul 2002)^(Duden GWDS 1999)

+
