Private Detective Bremerhaven, Germany | Private Investigator Bremerhaven –

Kurtz Detective Agency Germany*

Third-Best Detective Agency in Germany in the “Wirtschaftswoche” Service Provider Ranking

In the two-city state of Bremen, consisting of the state capital on the one hand and Bremerhaven on the other, crime rates have risen rapidly in recent years – as they have in the surrounding areas. The number of unreported cases is enormous, particularly with regard to stalking and threats, offences against sexual self-determination and domestic violence in the private sphere, as well as industrial espionage, product piracy, theft and fraud by employees in commercial enterprises, since many offences are not reported but are intended to be handled discreetly. The trained and IHK-certified investigators of our detective agency in Bremerhaven stand for absolute discretion, expertise and motivation.

From a Small Fishing Village to an Industrial Location | Commercial Detective | Commercial Detective Agency Bremerhaven

With its 115,827 inhabitants (2014), Bremerhaven belongs to the federal state of Bremen and is part of the Bremen–Oldenburg metropolitan region. Originally, the main economic sector in Bremerhaven was fishing and the associated processing industry. Until as late as 1984, fishing provided the majority of jobs in the city; however, Norway and Iceland expanded their fishing grounds, which resulted in there being only three fishing companies left in Bremerhaven today. Owing to its overseas port, the city was nevertheless able to grow significantly in the import and export sector, which led to an improvement in what was still a very high unemployment rate of 22.3 percent in 1998. In 2014, the unemployment rate stood at 13.9 percent, which, however, was still well above the national average.

Bremerhaven has since become an education and science hub of supra-regional importance, with focal points in polar and marine research, biotechnology and, above all, wind energy and energy systems engineering. Yet particularly in the field of research, the risk of data theft, misappropriation of intellectual property rights (patent infringements) and corruption is omnipresent. In these and many other cases, our commercial detectives in Bremerhaven are deployed for companies and institutes and provide evidence admissible in court against the perpetrators.

Cargo Theft | Misuse and Misappropriation of Intellectual Property – Rising Case Numbers for Our Detective Agency in Bremerhaven

The overseas port and the associated industries are now the main employers in Bremerhaven. These include the Container Terminal Bremerhaven, fish processing companies (for example Frosta frozen fish, the Nordsee restaurant chain) and shipyards, as well as the BLG Logistic Group, which is one of Germany’s leading companies in the field of automotive logistics and handled 2.3 million vehicles in 2014. In connection with wind energy research, local companies build and operate offshore wind power installations. Energy science as well as the design and production of installations are always targets for criminal competitors at both private level (industrial espionage) and state level (economic espionage), who seek to obtain results, data and components, sometimes by bribing employees of the companies and institutes concerned. Our specialised commercial detective agency in Bremerhaven acts for affected companies in order to prove unwanted data leaks, patent infringements and brand piracy in a manner admissible in court.

Another issue closely linked to Bremerhaven is cargo crime. In the cargo port, seaborne cargo throughput of 67 million tonnes was recorded in 2011. In addition to motor vehicles, construction machinery and large agricultural equipment (excavators, cranes, combine harvesters and so on), as well as fish and fruit and vegetable imports, accounted for a large proportion of the goods. Unlike in the 20th century, foodstuffs are no longer processed in Bremerhaven but in the surrounding area, or remain in the port until ripening (for example bananas) and are then forwarded directly to wholesale markets in Germany. Warehouse and transport crime is a persistent problem in the two-city state of Bremen. When it comes to proving these offences, which very often originate with a company’s own employees, our qualified commercial detectives in Bremerhaven are your competent and experienced partners.

Work and Private Life – Everyday Problems | Private Detective Agency in Bremerhaven

Bremerhaven is a modern major city. Its architecture largely dates from the 19th and 20th centuries; only a few older buildings have survived (including St Mary’s Church and St Dionysius’ Church from the 13th century). The city’s landmark is its tallest building: the sail-shaped, 19-storey Atlantic Hotel Sail City, built between 2006 and 2008. Against this modern backdrop, residents are confronted with a wide range of personal problems. Our private detectives in Bremerhaven can assist with the resolution of many issues; give us a call or contact us via our contact form.

Private Detectives in Bremerhaven for Infidelity, Maintenance Issues, Custody Disputes and Much More

Since the late 1960s, Bremerhaven’s population declined very steadily despite the fishing industry still flourishing at the time, and only showed slight opposing tendencies again from 2013 onwards with moderate growth. One of the main reasons for emigration lies in high unemployment: in 2013, 50,323 employees subject to social insurance contributions were registered at the place of work in Bremerhaven; in 2014 the unemployment rate stood at 13.9 percent, and in April 2016 it was even 15.5 percent – by comparison, the national average in the same month was 6.3 percent. Unemployment is well known to be a catalyst for crime, particularly property offences such as residential burglary and fraudulent acts aimed at obtaining financial advantages. By means of forensic investigative work, surveillance and the design of skilful traps for offenders, our private detective agency in Bremerhaven assists victims of property crime.

However, it is not only unemployment and property crime that affect the population. Everyday problems such as infidelity in relationships, maintenance and custody disputes, stalking or workplace bullying also impair quality of life. In many cases, our experienced private detectives in Bremerhaven can help clarify the situation by, depending on the case, obtaining court-admissible evidence of omissions (for example concealment of income in maintenance matters), documenting childcare arrangements in custody cases or carrying out the court-proof identification of offenders (for example in cases of threats) in order to help you assert your rights. Professional investigative methods and a discreet approach go without saying: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-bremen.de.

High Unemployment – Crime as a Consequence? Investigation and Prevention of Crime in Bremerhaven

After the number of overall criminal offences in the federal state of Bremen fell slightly to around 70,700 cases in 2014 (previous year: approximately 71,200), the figures rose sharply in 2015 to around 91,000 offences. The high level of unemployment and the associated low income – often at subsistence level – is certainly one of the reasons for this drastic increase, as also indicated by the figures for theft. In Bremerhaven alone, shoplifting offences rose from 975 in 2014 to 1,189 in 2015, an increase of 21.9 percent – and this is not a locally confined development: nationwide, annual losses of around 2.7 billion euros are caused by shoplifting. Experience shows that shoplifting and pickpocketing are very difficult to solve unless the offence is detected immediately on site or subsequently supported by video material; the proportionality of the measures must also be considered (costs of a detective agency compared with the value of the stolen property). However, our experienced security specialists in Bremerhaven can assist you in optimising your security systems, both in company buildings and in flats or houses.

A significant increase in crime in Bremerhaven can also be observed in the areas of goods fraud (2014 plus 40.2 percent), credit fraud involving goods (plus 18.1 percent), theft of debit cards, data theft and similar offences (2015 plus 31 percent), as well as drug-related offences (2015 plus 29 percent). Equally alarming are the sums of damage caused by crime: the total amount in Bremerhaven is around 10.8 million euros, of which 4.97 million euros alone are attributable to residential burglary and approximately 2.55 million euros to economic crime (2015). For those affected, our commercial investigators and private detectives in Bremerhaven undertake the clarification of cases and the conviction of perpetrators by means of court-admissible evidence documentation – gladly also on your behalf: +49 421 3679 9066.
