Radeberger hook
The Radeberger hook (according to DIN 34300 also Hooks with fuse function) is specifically for the height rescue developed rope brake . It is used to abseil a single person and is not considered a self-locking belay device .
It was further developed in 1951 by a group of Radeberger mountaineers around Gerhard Brosche, Peter Graf, Heinz Kittner and Rainer Hilsberg from the potter's hook and quickly became an important aid in climbing . It is made of cast aluminum ; earlier versions were made of welded round steel manufactured.
Today it is used as a rescue device by height rescue groups, fire brigades and mine services.
