Confirmed Myth
Germany
In Germany a pillow is legally classified as a passive weapon, so hitting someone with one counts as assault with a weapon
No German law classifies a pillow as a weapon, passive or otherwise. 'Passive weapon' (Schutzwaffe) is a real legal term, but it means protective gear such as helmets and shields banned at demonstrations; the only pillow ruling on record is a 2014 Federal Court of Justice case in which a pillow pressed over a victim's face for a minute was treated as a dangerous instrument because of how it was used.
