I have also this special for Brompton hitch ball one but I had to rework it a little to make it fit with the Rohloff external gear box.
The standard hitch ball fits with a Rohloff without any rework.

I like the looks of those Weber hitches, although I don't see the lock mechanism.
My German isn't very good.
Obviously you only need that keyed washer if you actually need the actual space, or have a dropout that doesn't fit the hitch well.
I see they sell the cables. I'd send a note to the company asking if you can buy the catch for the cables.

Personally, I only carry cargo with my trailers, and never kids. I generally don't use any safety straps/cables, and they only seem to get in the way. In general, I'd be more concerned with a loose trailer attached to the bicycle than a loose trailer disconnected from the bicycle.

While getting something caught in the rear spokes is less dangerous than getting it caught in the front, it could still potentially take a cyclist down, which could equally have dangerous consequences.
