1. A system for balancing a movable turbine part of a turbine or of a compressor, the system comprising a balancing weight element with a first hole and a second hole, and a single detachable fixing element, wherein the first hole and the second hole are formed in such a manner that the single detachable fixing element is detachably insertable in either the first hole or the second hole, wherein the first hole is formed in such a manner that the inserted fixing element in the first hole detachably couples the balancing weight element to the movable turbine part in a spatially fixed position, wherein the second hole is formed in such a manner that the fixing element is receivable in the second hole, and wherein when the balancing weight element has been non-detachably secured to the movable part, said fixing element is received within the second hole, whereby the over-all weight of the system remains unchanged between a detachably spatially fixed position and a non-detachably secured position of the balancing weight element.
