Platzverweis vs Ausschluss

exclusion

'der Ausschluss' and 'der Platzverweis' both have to do with someone not being allowed to stay or continue taking part. 'Ausschluss' is the general term and can apply to many situations, for example a club, an event, or a course. 'Platzverweis' is more specific: in sports, a player has to leave the field, or the police order someone to leave a particular place. A 'Platzverweis' is therefore often a special form of exclusion from a specific area.

Visual example for Ausschluss

Ausschluss

Wegen mehrerer Regelverstöße beschließt der Verein den Ausschluss des Mitglieds.
