The short answer is: Yes.
A security umbrella is not a prohibited item or 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 that not only the object itself, but also how it is advertised and used , is relevant.
An umbrella – even a particularly sturdy one – remains legally an umbrella as long as it is not presented and used as an offensive or combat weapon .
This is precisely where we consciously and clearly differentiate ourselves from problematic offers.
The security screen is not a weapon
The safety umbrella was not designed to hurt anyone. It is a robust everyday companion that can help people,
- Keep your distance
- to create distance
- Gain time
- and to defuse dangerous situations before they escalate
It's not about violence – it's about self-protection, control and safety in everyday life .
Why knowledge is indispensable
A sturdy and well-designed object alone does not make anyone safe.
Without the right knowledge, even the best tool can become a risk in an emergency – for example, if it is held incorrectly, used uncontrollably, or taken away by an attacker.
Therefore, with us you not only receive the safety net , but also the crucial knowledge.
