Is a Sicherheitsschirm Legal in Germany?
The short answer is: Yes.
A Sicherheitsschirm is not a prohibited object and not a weapon, but an everyday object – provided it is not advertised, misused or used as a weapon.
Why this distinction is crucial
In German law, the so-called intended purpose plays a central role. This means: not only the object itself, but also how it is advertised and used, is relevant.
An umbrella – even a particularly stable one – legally remains an umbrella, as long as it is not presented or used as an offensive or combat tool.
This is exactly where we consciously and clearly distinguish ourselves from problematic offers.
The Sicherheitsschirm is not a combat device
The Sicherheitsschirm was not developed to injure anyone. It is a robust everyday companion that can help people
- maintain distance
- create space
- gain time
- and de-escalate dangerous situations before they escalate
This is not about violence – it is about personal safety, control and security in everyday life.
Why knowledge is indispensable
A stable and well-thought-out object alone does not make anyone safe.
Without the right knowledge, even the best tool can become a risk in a serious situation – for example, if it is held incorrectly, used without control or taken away by an attacker.
That is why with us you receive not only the Sicherheitsschirm, but also the crucial knowledge.
The video course – knowledge that creates safety
For this reason, the detailed video guide “Personal Safety with the Umbrella” is an important part of our offer – without surcharge, without time limit.
In this course, Robert Amper, one of the most experienced trainers for personal safety with everyday objects, shows you:
- how to hold the Sicherheitsschirm correctly
- how to stand firmly and control distance
- which movements make sense – and which do not
- where the realistic limits of the umbrella lie
No show, no unrealistic techniques, but practical knowledge for real everyday situations.
Our standard
While many providers sell only a product, for us your actual safety is the central focus.
We believe: Good equipment is important. The right knowledge makes the decisive difference.
If your safety matters to you, please think this topic through consistently.
Knowledge is part of safety.
A strong tool only helps if you use it correctly in a serious situation. That is why, as a private customer, you receive our video course “Personal Safety with the Umbrella” with every Sicherheitsschirm – step by step, practical, without show.
