Varied Objectives of Our Detectives in Lübeck

With 219,044 inhabitants (2023), Lübeck offers diverse opportunities, from the well-preserved old town, featuring landmarks such as the famous Holstentor and historic salt warehouses, to nearby Travemünde, which attracts visitors from across Europe. Yet even in the city’s calmest corners, there are challenges, which is why our experienced detectives in Lübeck are often commissioned for observation: spouses or partners want to verify a partner’s fidelity, employers wish to confirm the accuracy of an employee’s sick leave, and both private individuals and companies approach our investigators following a crime to identify the perpetrators and, where possible, recover stolen property.

We also assist in locating fugitive debtors or missing persons. A proven method in missing persons cases is mantrailing, where highly trained tracking dogs are used, capable of following scent trails for days, weeks, or even months. Our IHK-certified detectives also conduct investigations in cases of stalking, threats, fraud, burglary, vehicle theft and much more. You can receive case-specific, non-binding advice from our private detective agency for Lübeck.

Marital Issues and Consequences – Daily Tasks of Private Detectives in Lübeck

In Lübeck, 588 divorces were recorded out of 1,002 marriages in 2013 – that is 58.7 percent. The most frequent reason for commissioning our private detectives in Lübeck is suspicion of infidelity, with around 75 percent of these cases confirmed. Even after separation, disputes often continue, and clarification of separation and post-marital maintenance frequently requires our investigators’ support:

• Who is obliged to pay whom, and in what amount?
• Does the ex-partner declare all income correctly?
• Are there undisclosed life circumstances affecting maintenance (for example, a new cohabiting relationship)?

Our knowledgeable detectives in Lübeck address these and many other questions, including custody arrangements and suitability for childcare, providing clients with legally admissible evidence to secure their rights.

Economic Strength Through Tourism

In 2011, Lübeck and its tourist hub Travemünde generated a total turnover of €675 million in the tourism sector. Lübeck and the surrounding area attract visitors year-round; in 2015, 663,975 guests stayed for 1.543 million overnight stays. Lübeck is not only known for its historic old town but also for its “Lübecker Marzipan,” hence the nickname “Marzipan City.” Today, alongside tourism, retail and manufacturing dominate the economy, including medical technology (Drägerwerk AG) and the food industry (marzipan manufacturer Niederegger, canned soup producer Continental Foods, formerly Erasco, and canned fish producer Hawesta).

The Baltic Sea port enables Lübeck companies to maintain thriving import and export operations. In 2015, 25.1 million tonnes of goods were handled, with a GDP of almost €7.23 billion – third in Schleswig-Holstein after Kiel and Pinneberg. 103,775 employees in Lübeck ensure smooth business operations, though not all staff remain loyal to their employer. Warehouse and transport crime, false sick notes, unauthorised secondary employment, breach of confidentiality – these are only a fraction of employee misconduct cases. Our qualified commercial detectives in Lübeck investigate the incidents, observe the suspected employees, and gather legally admissible evidence to prosecute offenders. Contact us by phone or via our contact form if required.

Unemployment and Crime

In 2015, 2,096 people in Lübeck received unemployment benefits I, while 8,504 received benefits II – a life at the subsistence level. Desperate individuals, particularly organised criminal groups, drive up property crime cases. 22,881 crimes were reported in Lübeck in 2015, over half of which were theft-related. 10,354 cases involved theft (including vehicles and theft from residences, businesses, and auxiliary spaces) and 2,957 cases involved property and forgery offences (including fraud, embezzlement and document forgery), showing a clear upward trend.

The insufficient clearance rates, often due to chronic understaffing of investigative authorities, increasingly prompt victims to seek professional assistance from our specialised commercial detective agency in Lübeck. We pursue leads and suspects and help recover your property wherever possible.
