Claim 0:
1. A magnetizing device, comprising:
a first magnet having a magnetic field forming a magnetization region in which a magnetizable security element is transported in a transport direction through the magnetization region and exposed to a magnetic field strength having a defined magnetic field direction, wherein the magnetic field is tangential to the transport direction of the magnetizable security element on an upper side and a lower side of the magnetizable security element; and
a first magnetic field concentrator formed of a ferromagnetic material, the first magnetic field concentrator is arranged in the magnetic field and adapted to focus and amplify the magnetic field in the defined magnetic field direction in the magnetization region to result in a stronger magnetic field on one of an upper side and a lower side of the magnetizable security element.
