In the Middle Ages, a flail-like weapon consisting of such a spiked iron 
  ball on the end of a chain was in use... in German, it's called a 
"Morgenstern" (literally "morning star"), but I don't know how they are 
called in English...

Funnily enough it is called a Morningstar, in English. Which
incidentally is an other name for Lucifer or Auld Nick.

I thought it was a "Goedendag" (literally: good morning) in Dutch/Flemish,
but I am proved wrong by the following site:

It seems a common error...

It's still a rough way to wish a good day... maybe it explains some
headaches I got in Netherlands
Are herrings at breakfast designed to finish the work? ;-)

Yep! Although I suppose the jenever at breakfast would be worse for that,
but haring is supposed to cure a lot of things, even headaches, I suppose...
It certainly is good for the brain, if we may believe the current diet
specialists. So, eat haring/herring at all times of the day!!!

Wikipedia calls it a flail, which I've heard it called also. Not something
you'd store on a high shelf...

Indeed!! I remember an unfortunate accident in my home involving a child and
a cedar cone (spiky and a few kgs; 30cm long)....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_star_%28weapon%29

The name "morning star" is often erroneously applied to the military
flail (also known as the therscol), a similar weapon, but with the
head attached by a short chain. 

Now this is what I was thinking about.
