Covering around 23,200 km² in north-eastern Germany, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with just over 1.6 million inhabitants, is the least densely populated federal state in the country. The Baltic Sea coast, Mecklenburg Switzerland, the Mecklenburg Lake District and the islands of Usedom and Rügen are among the most popular domestic holiday destinations. Three of Germany’s 16 national parks are located in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, making it the federal state with the highest number of national parks; in addition, countless nature reserves can be found here.
The people of Mecklenburg are family-oriented, as statistics confirm: of around 10,000 marriages, only 3,000 result in divorce or dissolution – placing the state below the national average. Investigations relating to separations and the associated maintenance and custody arrangements form part of the daily work of our private investigators in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In cases of suspected infidelity as well as maintenance matters (concealed income) and the assessment of whether a former partner is suitable to care for a child, our investigators in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern assist with enquiries and surveillance and provide their clients with court-admissible evidence.
The only major city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is the Hanseatic city of Rostock with over 211,000 inhabitants, while the state capital Schwerin, classified as a medium-sized town, has only around 99,000 residents. These two are the only independent cities in the state and at the same time the location of numerous companies in the food industry, technology and research sectors. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is home to two full universities, the Ernst Moritz Arndt University in Greifswald and the University of Rostock, in addition to several public higher education institutions of various disciplines. Research institutions, primarily located in and around Greifswald and Rostock, focus mainly on medicine, biology, physics, aerospace, animal health, agricultural sciences and demography.
Alongside the German Aerospace Centre and several shipyards, the maritime industry (for example AIDA Cruises), mechanical engineering, energy technology, biotechnology, medical technology, information technology and the food industry form the core sectors of Mecklenburg’s economy. Furthermore, three of the oldest department store chains originated in this federal state: Karstadt was founded in Wismar in 1871, Wertheim and Kaufhof followed in Stralsund in 1875 and 1879 respectively. The food industry is represented in particular by the companies Pfanni (Stavenhagen), Nestlé (Schwerin) and the frozen food division of the Oetker Group in Wittenburg.
In regions with a high concentration of commercial enterprises, educational institutions and research facilities, the risk of industrial espionage, patent infringements and product counterfeiting is very high, as our corporate investigators in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern know from many years of experience. Disloyal employees in particular cause significant damage through false sick notes, breaches of non-compete clauses, corruption, theft and much more.

At fair and transparent detective costs with variable travel expenses, Kurtz Detective Agency Rostock serves, among others, the following locations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern:
With federal motorways 14, 19, 20 and 24 and its rail network, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is connected nationwide. The state’s largest airport is located in the Hanseatic city of Rostock. Like the overseas ports of Rostock and Mukran, it offers international connections, which also lead to consistently rising revenues in the tourism sector each year. In 2014, 7.25 million guests visited Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and accommodation providers recorded around 28.7 million overnight stays. Germans in particular favour the northern state – around 95 percent of tourists came from within Germany. However, not only tourists visit Mecklenburg-Vorpommern but also criminals, who generally focus less on pickpocketing and more on significantly more lucrative offences:
17,151 fraud offences, 14,001 cases of criminal damage, 5,031 violations of the Narcotics Act (including acquisitive crime), 2,827 thefts from business premises to which unauthorised persons have no access, 2,434 thefts from residential properties and 1,530 residential burglaries – in total, around 116,000 criminal offences were committed in 2014. Victims take little comfort from the fact that Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ranks in the mid-range of crime statistics. Depending on the offence, the police clearance rate (AQ) ranges between 96.6 percent (homicide) and 17.4 percent (theft) – resulting in an average AQ of 60.4 percent, which is unacceptable for many victims.
Particularly in the fields of economic and computer crime, the financial losses suffered by victims are enormous. In 2014, companies in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern reported, among other things, 358 fraud offences, and 217 cases of economic crime were linked to employment relationships. However, these are not the actual figures, as many companies refrain from filing criminal complaints in order to avoid attracting public attention and potentially suffering reputational damage. Moreover, waiving criminal proceedings can sometimes reduce the extent of harm. The same applies to offences relating to computer crime – here too, the number of unreported cases is substantial. No fewer than 32.2 percent of this category concerned computer-assisted fraud, while 29.3 percent related to data espionage.
