Boundless: Private Detectives in Schleswig-Holstein

Located between the North and Baltic Seas, our state is the second smallest federal state in Germany after Saarland, with around 2.9 million inhabitants (2022), placing it ninth in Germany despite its small area. Schleswig-Holstein is particularly well known for its nature reserves, coasts, port towns, North Sea and Baltic Sea resorts, the state capital Kiel, and the North Frisian Islands (especially Sylt); many Germans primarily experience the region as a holiday destination. Close to the Danish border, Schleswig-Holstein not only offers residents and tourists the opportunity to take a short trip to Scandinavia but also allows maintenance or rent defaulters to evade obligations, often disappearing unnoticed in Denmark. Offenders also exploit the border proximity after burglaries, vehicle thefts, and other crimes to escape.

Our qualified private detectives in Schleswig-Holstein conduct cross-border investigations, drawing on contacts with authorities and detective agencies in Scandinavia. We are happy to work for you as well. Please use our contact form or email us at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-kiel.de for enquiries.

Corporate Investigations Schleswig-Holstein

In northern Schleswig-Holstein, cross-border tourism and trade play a crucial role in the economic situation. Scandinavians primarily purchase tobacco and alcohol in Germany, which is many times more expensive in northern Europe due to public health measures (residents far north are considered particularly prone to alcohol dependency because of long winter darkness). A common issue our detectives in Schleswig-Holstein’s border regions address is fraud and embezzlement in freight transport.

In the south, the state borders the Hamburg metropolitan region, with an economic focus on the service sector and mechanical engineering. In the west, the coastal landscape is dominated by agriculture and tourism, while in the eastern coastal region the economy thrives on trade, transport, and shipbuilding: in 2014, around 51.3 million tonnes of goods were handled at the North and Baltic Sea ports. The ports are the state’s main transport links, and Schleswig-Holstein is also connected to Hamburg and the rest of Germany via motorways 1 and 7. Major employers in Schleswig-Holstein, and thus potential clients for employee screenings by detectives, include coop EG, the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, the Possehl Group, and the Dräger factory.

Rising Crime in Schleswig-Holstein

Although Schleswig-Holstein is considered a very contemplative state and its economic situation has been stable for years, crime continues to rise: in 2014, total criminal offences increased by 1.2 percent to 202,301, with a significant number of unreported cases. In contrast, the clearance rate is a concerning 51.2 percent.

Private individuals and companies often refrain from reporting certain crimes due to shame, fear of the perpetrator, or fear of reputational damage. Law enforcement authorities frequently lack not only personnel and technical resources but also the necessary tact and discretion. Our corporate detectives in Schleswig-Holstein have the expertise, excellent technical equipment, and above all the ability to handle sensitive matters discreetly and tactfully. We are happy to provide case-specific advice in a non-binding consultation: +49 431 3057 0053.

Our detectives operate throughout Schleswig-Holstein – on Sylt and the other North Frisian Islands, in Schleswig and Flensburg, Lübeck and Elmshorn, Neumünster and the state capital Kiel, as well as on Fehmarn.
