Legally Compliant Detectives in the Cultural and Administrative Centre of Bonn: 10 Years of Kurtz Detective Agency in 2023

Bonn has always been regarded as a cultural city. From this tradition, a diverse, lively, and successful cultural life has developed across all cultural sectors, which continues to influence daily life in the federal city and, consequently, the work of our Bonn detectives. Considering the city’s area of 141.2 km², it offers an outstanding institutional range of museums and exhibition centres, both quantitatively and qualitatively, in private, municipal, state and federal sponsorship. The structure of this cultural offering was significantly shaped by Bonn's former status as the capital. With its outstanding collection, the LVR State Museum Bonn, as the only cultural history museum in the Rhineland, presents the region’s development from its beginnings 400,000 years ago to the present day. Visitors can expect an eventful journey from the Stone Age to the present – one of many reasons why Bonn attracts so many visitors. The private detectives of Kurtz Investigations Bonn are frequently commissioned to observe travellers, for example, in cases of suspected infidelity in relationships.

Between 13 and 9 BC, Romans settled in the present-day city area. Bonn was first mentioned by name in 37 AD as a legionary camp, making it one of the oldest cities in Germany. Bonn has held city rights since 1244 and was known as the federal capital from 1949–1991. Even 25 years after losing its status as capital, Bonn remains an important national centre for administration and politics. In this environment, especially high standards are naturally placed on the knowledge and work of detectives. A private investigator must also be a legal expert. Anyone in this profession who works with improper methods that are not admissible in court regularly jeopardises their own legal standing and that of their clients. Therefore, safe handling of German law is the first principle of any reputable investigator. Thanks to the excellent qualifications and continuous further training of our detectives, Kurtz Investigations Bonn meets this standard.

The multicultural population structure of Bonn is always taken into account in our private investigations

Despite its long history, Bonn is a modern, cosmopolitan city, providing a home to people from 176 nations, mainly from Germany (obviously), Turkey, Poland, Morocco and the Russian Federation. In Bonn’s total population of 335,975 inhabitants (as of January 2022), one in four residents has a migration background. Among children and adolescents, this proportion is even higher. Today, among the youngest age group, children under three, almost every second child comes from a family where at least one parent has foreign roots.

With so many different cultures, conflicts arise not only in social interactions. There has been a marked increase in organised crime. Islamists, anti-Semites and jihadists no longer carry out their feuds only in their home countries, but also in Germany, increasingly in Bonn in recent years. Consequently, synagogues and Muslim institutions must be guarded around the clock. Although our Bonn private detectives rarely deal directly with religious conflicts, urban cultural diversity still presents potential conflicts in everyday life, which must be addressed through knowledge, understanding and flexibility in selecting investigators. Kurtz Investigations Bonn works for anyone seeking help in any environment when a legitimate interest exists: +49 228 2861 4084.

Street Crime and Burglary in Bonn

Unfortunately, despite decades of efforts by professional associations for the detective profession, there are no uniform training regulations in Germany, so any citizen with a clean criminal record can register a detective business. This is regrettable, as our country increasingly relies on private and corporate investigators amid budget cuts affecting police training and numbers. Society faces rising crime, particularly theft, burglary and street crime. While crime rates decreased from 2010–2013, they almost returned to the 2009 peak in 2014. Particularly, acquisition-related crimes associated with drugs increased drastically.

As elsewhere in Germany, the police in Bonn are understaffed and overloaded. As a result, many seemingly minor offences are only pursued negligently. For the police, they are secondary for understandable reasons; for the victim, they are, equally understandably, important, sometimes even critical. Here, the investigators of Kurtz Investigations Bonn can act more result-oriented, faster and more comprehensively than the police.
