Hausverbot vs Verweis

reference / reprimand / expulsion

'Verweis' and 'Hausverbot' can both have to do with someone having to leave a place or not being allowed to stay there. A 'Verweis' can be a direct instruction to leave a place or event. A 'Hausverbot' goes further: the person is no longer allowed to enter a specific building, shop, or property. It is usually issued by the owner or by a person in charge. The words can be confused because both sound like exclusion. In short: a 'Verweis' often concerns the moment, while a 'Hausverbot' also applies later.

Visual example for Verweis
Hausverbot

Wegen der wiederholten Störungen sprach der Besitzer ein Hausverbot aus.

Because of the repeated disturbances, the owner issued a ban from the premises.

Verweis

Der Kunde bekam nach dem lauten Streit einen Verweis aus dem Laden.
