Hello forum community,
at the moment I am struggling with the decision whether to install a proper stair railing, which also includes fall protection, or a nice-looking handrail on my stairs.
In the Dropbox link you can see how it currently looks.

I think a small, delicate handrail or rope on the wall looks better, but what happens if the first person falls?
The stairs lead to a living area, there are no children yet.

I am looking forward to numerous suggestions and opinions.

The Dropbox link probably didn't work. Just upload the photo here in the post using the "Datei hochladen" button. It's much more sensible anyway.

Left mouse button / "Open image in new tab" does not work?
Here is the file.

Well, if children are planned, this question doesn't even arise. It looks good without [content in square brackets]... but even I, with already some age-related bruises on my legs and feet, would feel a bit uncomfortable on it ;) I would wait to see if a child ever moves into the house or if you feel safe without protection. Regards

I would provide a fall protection on the left and a handrail on the wall on the right. And I wonder that it was planned and built without that at all. Retrofitting it later will be elaborate ...

I would have a railing built. No matter how old you are, you can always trip somehow and then you’re glad to be able to hold on to something.

Best regards
