Engaging Kurtz Detective Agency Trier for Missing Metal
An intense case arose for Kurtz Detective Agency Luxembourg and Trier. At a company in Bitburg, it was discovered that significant quantities of metal ingots (aluminium) from their own production kept going missing. No suspect had been identified, so the company turned to our detectives from Trier. After the situation was outlined by the managing director, Mr Remich (also our contact person), it was agreed in a briefing to observe the factory gates at night. Both parties – the client and our private detectives for Luxembourg and Rhineland-Palatinate – hoped to monitor any unauthorised removal of materials and thereby identify the culprit or culprits.
Nighttime Activity Between Shifts
The first observation began at 1 a.m. on the client’s premises in Bitburg. At that time, the production halls were still illuminated. Work only ceased shortly before 2:30 a.m.: employees left the halls and the lights were switched off. Our three detectives in Bitburg observed no indications of theft. Two hours later, a promising development occurred: a small car entered the premises, parked in front of one of the roller doors to the production halls, and two men got out. Were these the perpetrators we were looking for?
The two men opened two of the doors and entered the factory. Nothing further happened until after 6 a.m. – nothing was loaded into the car, and nobody left the premises. Meanwhile, employees gradually arrived for the early shift, and the first lorries arrived for legitimate loading. One of our Trier detectives had already noted during a routine check that the two men from the night-time car were simply sitting at a table with coffee, talking. Since regular operations started around 6:30 a.m., and Mr Remich was certain that the thefts occurred outside normal working hours, our commercial detectives in Bitburg ended the observation for that day.
Multiple Employees Possibly Involved in Material Theft?
On the following night, our Trier detective team resumed surveillance at 1:00 a.m. As on the previous night, one of the investigators conducted a preliminary site inspection at the start of the operation, paying particular attention to vans and small trucks capable of transporting metal bars in large quantities, most likely on pallets. However, the site inspection revealed no unusual activity.
Upon arrival at the production halls in Bitburg, lights were again on, switched off around 2:30 a.m., and two hours later, some activity was observed inside – still with no indication of theft. By 5:30 a.m., three vehicles gradually parked near or between the rolling doors, but no loading occurred. By then, so many employees were present that an unnoticed theft of such cumbersome company property would have required coordination involving multiple workers. Ultimately, our detectives concluded this surveillance operation in Bitburg at 6:30 a.m.
The size of the stolen aluminium pallets required a suitable transport vehicle; a standard car would not have had sufficient cargo space or load capacity.
Detectives Monitor Flatbed Truck on Company Premises
The real “action” came on the third and final night of observation. On this Saturday, the night-shift employees left the premises before 2:00 a.m., half an hour earlier than on weekdays. Production would be halted the next day, giving the perpetrators the entire night instead of the usual maximum two-hour window between night and morning shifts. Would they seize this opportunity? Our detectives for Luxembourg and Rhineland-Palatinate were ready.
Shortly before 4:00 a.m., activity increased. A man drove a standard Opel onto the company premises, stopped in front of a rolling door, exited, and entered the hall using a key. Shortly afterward, the hall lights came on. While two of our detectives continued observing the hall, the third conducted a perimeter check for potential transport vehicles suitable for aluminium bars. Two cars were found in the company car park, and a semi-trailer with Polish plates was observed on a nearby street. Soon, one rolling door opened, and a flatbed truck drove out. Immediately behind it, the man from the Opel Astra appeared, closed the rolling door, and got into his car. The two vehicles drove in different directions and were each followed by one of our Trier economic detectives.
Shaking Off Pursuers During Surveillance
The Opel driver sped along the country road, ignoring traffic rules and running multiple red lights. To preserve discretion, surveillance of this individual had to be discontinued. The Opel could not have carried stolen goods anyway, as it lacked space for pallets, and no loading had occurred during the parking interval in front of the rolling door. The licence plate was known to our Trier economic detective agency and could be used to identify the driver later if he was an accomplice.
The flatbed truck’s driving behaviour was also suspicious: it drove in circles at times – a typical pattern for criminals attempting to shake off potential pursuers. Alarm bells rang loud enough for our Bitburg private detectives to involve the police. Maintaining constant contact with law enforcement, the detective following the flatbed truck guided the officers to the vehicle on the Bundesautobahn 1. Near the Bad Münstereifel/Mechernich exit, our Trier investigator finally saw flashing lights in his rear-view mirror. A police vehicle moved in front of the flatbed and instructed the driver to follow. What was going through the driver’s mind at that moment? Shortly thereafter, two additional police vehicles boxed the light truck in from both sides to prevent any escape attempts.
Police Operation on the Autobahn – Trier Detective in the Middle
After leaving the motorway, the convoy of three police vehicles, the suspect flatbed, and our investigator’s car stopped at a suitable location. The surveillance detective identified himself to the officers and inspected the suspect vehicle with them. He had the honour of uncovering the tarpaulin covering the load – revealing 4,500 kilograms of aluminium bars on pallets. The driver was immediately arrested, searched, and taken to the police station. Furthermore, our Trier economic detective detailed the events concerning the alleged accomplice in the Opel Astra. The investigator remained on-site and documented the loaded stolen goods until the flatbed truck and its cargo were removed by a tow service.
Afterwards, the detective team regrouped at the company address and held a debrief with the client, Mr Remich. Shortly thereafter, police officers arrived to document the scene and record the statements of our detectives. Mr Remich received a USB stick with the preliminary evidence and later the final investigative report via email. This successfully concluded the operation of our detective agency in Bitburg.

An Endless Series of Continuations and Adaptations
writer whose name is still widely recognised nearly ninety years after his death, and whose works continue to be read, has likely achieved far more than he could have ever imagined. Yet even more impressively, the literary legacy can inspire thousands of new stories and adaptations in novels, plays, radio dramas, films, television series, video games, and more. This is certainly true of the Scottish author Arthur Conan Doyle: every conceivable medium has, since his death in 1930, produced countless stories featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as main characters or at least as sources of inspiration. Our detective agency in Trier takes a closer look at the multimedia legacy of the canonical Sherlock Holmes stories.
Biographical Gaps as Invitations for Continuations
The most obvious way to bring Sherlock Holmes “back to life” after his creator’s death is actually left open by Doyle himself. His collection of 56 short stories and four novels covers the fictional biography of Sherlock Holmes only very incompletely: virtually nothing is known about the detective’s youth, and much of the time before his first meeting with Watson remains unexplored (the 1985 film Young Sherlock Holmes imagines Holmes and Watson meeting as teenagers in 1870 for an initial adventure). As mentioned in earlier parts of our series The Private Detective in Literature, the cases are not told in chronological order and do not build on one another; Doyle’s fictional narrator Watson even references past cases that were never published, providing perfect starting points for subsequent writers. Additionally, after Holmes’ apparent death at the Reichenbach Falls, there is an explicitly mentioned three-year gap during which he is in exile—something the canonical stories never explore in detail. These gaps and “lost cases” have been and continue to be used creatively, sometimes more faithfully, sometimes less so, in book and film adaptations.
Doyle also never provides a definitive ending to the story of his greatest creation: when Shoscombe Old Place, the last Holmes story written by Doyle himself, was published in March 1927, it concluded with the case solved but offered no indication of what happened to the detective afterwards—an open invitation for anyone wishing to continue the adventures of the master sleuth. A charming depiction of Holmes’ final years appeared in 2015: in the film Mr. Holmes, Ian McKellen plays a 93-year-old, slightly senile Sherlock Holmes attempting to recall his last case in 1947.
Sherlock Holmes on the Big Screen
There was ample room to continue the story of the world’s greatest detective. The only problem after Doyle’s death was that the United Kingdom had long maintained comprehensive copyright laws, meaning that Doyle’s literary work—and thus copyright protection of all his characters and their names—remained with his heirs for fifty years after his death. This, however, did not stifle creativity: the 1930s saw a boom in horror and mystery cinema, and many of the images we associate with Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, and other classic figures come from this period.
Where there is mystery, the master detective is never far behind. Early on, Sherlock Holmes repeatedly became the central character in films. In 1939, an iconic depiction appeared on the big screen: The Hound of the Baskervilles premiered, not only showcasing one of his most famous cases but also initiating a series of big-budget adventures with Holmes as the protagonist. The series, which made Basil Rathbone immortal in the role of Sherlock Holmes, quickly produced one sequel after another; by 1946, a total of 14 full-length films had been released. This series remained the best-known for a long time and, with its lead actor, remains for many the definitive cinematic Holmes. Patrick Kurtz, owner of our business detective agency in Trier, also examined this adaptation for the online streaming service maxdome:
https://www.maxdome.de/maxperten/patrick-kurtz-127895.html.
Over the years, countless other adaptations of the London detective have been produced, including German versions, comedies, and parodies—particularly in the 1970s.
Basil Rathbone’s portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, combined with Nigel Bruce’s bumbling interpretation of Watson, is considered by many fans to be the prototype of cinematic Holmes adaptations.
Milestone: Copyright Expiry in 1981
With the expiration of the 50-year copyright term after Doyle’s death, it has been legal since 1981 for anyone to write, stage, or produce stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. This is a possibility that has been extensively utilised. Even all the detectives in our Luxembourg agency combined would not know everything written or filmed about Sherlock Holmes over the past ninety years. Nevertheless, as we conclude our series on Arthur Conan Doyle, we aim to provide a brief overview of highlights worth seeing. Our new series, Sherlock Holmes on Film, does not claim to be exhaustive but seeks to bring a little order to the vast world of Sherlock Holmes adaptations brought to screen since Doyle’s death.
As Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1937), English author and creator of Father Brown, once said:
"There have never been better detective stories than the old Sherlock Holmes series; and although the name of the great wizard has become known worldwide, and although it is probably the only popular legend of the modern world, I do not believe Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been thanked enough."
Kurtz Private Detective Agency Luxembourg and Trier fully agrees. We hope that our series on Arthur Conan Doyle has contributed, even in a small way, to preserving the author’s legacy and, in Chesterton’s words, we say: “Thank you, Sir Arthur!”

In this article, Kurtz Detective Agency Trier and Luxembourg examines the detective and crime novel and its history in Catalonia, Spain. The autonomous community of Catalunya (Catalonia) with its capital Barcelona (see Detectives in Barcelona) is known for its traditions, rich culture, and, with the Costa Brava and the Balearic Islands counted as part of Catalonia, as a prime tourist destination. It is also Spain’s economically most important region, far less criminal than the south of the country, yet home to many private detectives, particularly in Barcelona.
The Rise of the Detective Novel – in English and French
The crime novel as we know it today—from Agatha Christie and Ross Macdonald to Simenon, Chester Himes, Giorgio Scerbanenco, and Manuel Vázquez Montalbán—is the product of a genre evolution that began with industrialisation in France after the French Revolution and in Victorian England. While there were earlier prominent authors who wrote about investigators whose work bears resemblance to that of our detectives in Luxembourg and Trier (for example, Poe’s Dupin), the true establishment of the genre occurred with Sherlock Holmes and, after World War I in the United States, with numerous now-famous detectives. One notable example is Dashiell Hammett, who popularised crime stories that addressed institutionalised violence and industrial society. In the United States, the detective novel thus became an extremely popular literary form.
Consequently, most crime literature well into the 20th century was written only in English and French (incidentally, the Kurtz Detective Agency Luxembourg and Trier website is also available in French). Minority languages struggled to gain traction in the genre due to limited industrialised publishing. In Catalan, these problems were compounded by the fact that bestsellers were normally published only in Spanish and Catalan works were long prohibited.
Establishing the Catalan Detective Novel
The true starting point for the Catalan detective novel, as examined here by our private detectives in Trier, came in the post-Franco era. Rafael Tasis (1906–1966) created a cult around Commissioner Vilagut and journalist Caldes in three works, and he also produced some of the best translations in this field.
He was followed by Manuel de Pedrolo (1918–1990), an avant-garde writer, lover of crime fiction, and passionate advocate for reading in Catalan, which under Franco and his Hispanisation policies had been severely restricted. In detective fiction, he published L’inspector arriba tard (1960, The Inspector Arrives Late), Joc Brut (1965, Brutal Game), and Mossegar-se la cua (1968, Going in Circles). He also translated numerous books into Catalan. Pedrolo played a key role in the Catalan literary market, publishing in his collection La Cua de Palla (1963–70, The Straw) the first complete editions of classic crime literature in Catalan, mostly originally in English, many of which inspired the work of our detectives in Luxembourg, alongside works by Simenon and Pedrolo himself.
The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is among Europe’s most famous buildings and exemplifies the cultural diversity of Catalonia, where detectives from Kurtz Detective Agency Luxembourg and Trier have already conducted operations.
New Impulses After Franco’s Death | Ofèlia Dracs
In the new sociocultural context of the 1970s after Franco’s death, Jaume Fuster (1945–1998) returned to publishing detective novels in Catalan. By the 1980s, more detective novels than ever were published in the country, whether translated from other languages or written directly in Catalan. Significant Catalan authors of the period, both within and outside the genre, joined Fuster and his literary collective Ofèlia Dracs, including Josep Maria Palau, Maria Antònia Oliver, Antoni Serra, Margarida Aritzena, Isabel-Clara Simó, and others.
The collective was also responsible for translating and publishing popular classics such as Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle with Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, Simenon, and many more into Catalan. These translations inspired not only our detectives in Trier but also further detective and crime novels, which are collected in the expanded edition of La Nova Cua de Palla (The New Straw).

For the programme “M19 – The Long Interview” on the radio station Mephisto 97.6, Patrick Kurtz, owner of the Kurtz Detective Agency Trier and Luxembourg, spoke for an hour with editor-in-chief Paula Drope about the detective profession. In the following fifth part, the topic turns to writing detectives. You can find the third part about the role models of our private detectives in Luxembourg and Trier here.
A Cinematic Detective Office?
Paula Drope: “You’ve already described your office to us and we had a look around. When you take that in and look at your website, you get the impression you want to present a crime novel atmosphere à la Sherlock Holmes or Philip Marlowe. You want people to immerse themselves, don’t you? Why create that atmosphere?”
Patrick Kurtz: “It is not my conscious intention to immerse people in such an atmosphere, because the objective facts of each case come first. Yet if that is the impression, I think it comes simply from the fact that I like it so much myself and that it’s part of who I am. That is reflected accordingly: in the office, on the website, and so on.”
Paula Drope: “Before we continue about Sherlock Holmes — and we will, we are not finished yet — let us do our quick-fire question round. We do this often on M19. I ask a short question, you answer briefly. Ready?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Yes, I hope so.”
Getting Personal: the Quick-Fire Round
Paula Drope: “Your childhood career ambition?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Writer.”
Paula Drope: “What kind of writer?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Back then, I think fantasy.”
Paula Drope: “Favourite subject at school?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Phew, for a while French, sometimes German.”
Paula Drope: “Agatha Christie or Dan Brown?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Hmm, both … rather Agatha Christie.”
Paula Drope: “Why?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Because Dan Brown has recently been writing a bit sensationally for my taste. He always did to some extent, but lately it’s become a bit too much.”
Paula Drope: “Which film would you stay home for?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Many — The Dark Knight springs to mind first, but I am not limited by title or genre.”
Paula Drope: “Crime stories as book, film or radio drama?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Most of all as a book.”
Paula Drope: “Do you prefer a glass of red wine or a beer with a good crime novel?”
Patrick Kurtz: “More likely a beer, even more likely a whisky.”
Paula Drope: “So you are a detective just like he’s written in the books — indeed.”
Radio Needs Music — a Request from Ireland
Paula Drope: “And now your final music request. You chose ‘Cocaine Chest Pains’ by the Irish band Kopek. Why that track?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Because they are a relatively unknown band — relatively, since last year they supported Die Toten Hosen on tour. I met the band in 2013 at a concert in a small club in Berlin. Very likeable guys, and it’s a great song.”
An insert follows, the theme of the BBC series Sherlock:
On Adaptations of Sherlock Holmes
Paula Drope: “With the theme tune of the BBC’s most popular series we begin our fourth and final round on M19, the long interview on Mephisto97.6. My guest, Patrick Kurtz, could well be welcomed with that music, because he is a private detective. Mr Kurtz, after a quick reading of the clues: what theme tune was that?”
Patrick Kurtz: “BBC-Sherlock — didn’t you just say that?”
Paula Drope: “No, I only said ‘most popular BBC series’; you linked it subconsciously. Are you a fan?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Yes, I find the series excellent and I have all seasons on my shelf.”
Paula Drope: “A new cult has formed around the Sherlock Holmes figure. But already in the 1950s there were television and, above all, cinema adaptations. Today there are not only the BBC series and Sherlock Holmes films, but also the US films of 2009 and 2011 starring Robert Downey Jr.. There is also a different interpretation in the US series Elementary, where Dr Watson is played by a woman. Are you familiar with the adaptations mentioned?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Yes, though I only watched a few episodes of Elementary — I must say I didn’t take to it.”
Paula Drope: “Why not?”
Patrick Kurtz: “It felt a bit like a cheap German TV production to me. I didn’t warm to the portrayal of Sherlock, and I didn’t warm to Lucy Liu as Watson — it just didn’t fit for me. I’m afraid I didn’t like it.”
Paula Drope: “Cinematically, in other words?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Visually on the one hand, but it also seemed a bit too simplistic. Maybe I caught the wrong episodes — that may be — but what I saw didn’t appeal.”
Paula Drope: “Which of the cited adaptations do you like best?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Of those mentioned, definitely the BBC-Sherlock, because it’s the most creative and because Benedict Cumberbatch is by far the most convincing Holmes of these adaptations. The atmosphere is superb, the cases are brilliantly constructed, the twists are great, and the adaptations of the classic material — novels and short stories — are very well done. In my view, alongside the series starring the brilliant Jeremy Brett from the 1980s and early 1990s, it is by far the best realisation of Sherlock Holmes.”
On Novels and Detective Blogs
Paula Drope: “Let us move from film heroes to real heroes. You are not only a private detective but also a writer. Besides an essay collection you have written a novel: in 2012 Livingstones Mahnung was published — the first volume of the memoirs of Detective Inspector Aidan Johnstone. So you are ultimately a writer? Does that come naturally when you work as a detective?”
Patrick Kurtz: “That I want to express myself is certainly true. I have done it since childhood: ever since I learned to write I have been writing. At six or seven it was continuations of Pippi Longstocking stories, later all sorts of texts. At the moment I don’t have time, but I intend to devote more energy to it in 2016. I have a manuscript in a drawer that I have yet to revise, and many other projects in my head that I would like to realise when time permits.”
Paula Drope: “What you certainly identify with is your detective agency blog. There you describe, anonymised of course, cases that your agency uncovers across Germany. How did the idea of presenting cases in a blog occur to you? Sherlock Holmes and Watson do something similar in the Sherlock series.”
Patrick Kurtz: “I haven’t really thought about it; I couldn’t tell you how the idea came about. It happened some time ago. It just developed naturally.”
Paula Drope: “Is the detective blog perhaps the new detective format?”
Patrick Kurtz: “Not many people do it, I suspect. I enjoy it because it combines different things that appeal to me: I like to write and I am a detective. On that level I can unite both, even though the blog must of course be much more matter-of-fact than what I would normally write. It’s a nice format in which to express myself. It’s also good publicity — something a service provider should not overlook.”
Not only Dr Watson in the BBC’s Sherlock (played by Martin Freeman) keeps a detective blog; our agency also reports weekly on its own cases and other subjects of interest.
Closing Words
Paula Drope: “That was the private detective and owner of Kurtz Detective Agency, Patrick Kurtz. We have reached the end of our programme. Thank you for the interesting conversation and thank you for coming!”
Patrick Kurtz: “My pleasure. Thank you as well!”
Paula Drope: “If you would like to listen again, you can do so on our website: mephisto976.de. Today’s programme was edited by Caroline Bernert, the music was chosen by our guest Patrick Kurtz himself and Andreas Wolf looked after the technical side. That concludes Mephisto 97.6 for today; tomorrow morning at 10:00 we continue with our magazine show Faustschlag. I am Paula Drope; thank you for listening and have a pleasant evening.”

In the following article, the detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Luxembourg and Trier take a closer investigative look at crime, particularly among juveniles and in the field of illegal narcotics.
Partly Positive Crime Trends in Trier
An inscription on the Red House at Trier’s main market reads: “ANTE ROMAM TREVERIS STETIT ANNIS MILLE TRECENTIS. PERSTET ET AETERNA PACE FRUATUR,” which translates as: “Before Rome, Trier stood thirteen hundred years. May it continue to stand and enjoy eternal peace.” The wish for peace appears to be reflected in life in Trier, as crime in the city declined in several areas in 2014. For example, offenses constituting bodily harm decreased by 6.4 percent, and the number of serious thefts fell by 4.8 percent. But rest assured: despite these figures, there is still plenty of work for our private investigators in Trier.
Opposite Trends in Luxembourg
In contrast to the encouraging developments in Trier, our detectives in Luxembourg have observed different trends. In 2014, noticeable increases were recorded particularly in cases of bodily harm and theft — especially theft involving threats or the use of violence. In Luxembourg City and across the country, such cases rose from 519 in 2013 to 566 offenses in 2014. Almost every day, a mobile phone is stolen in Luxembourg (279 cases were recorded the previous year). Along the borders with Belgium and France, crime rates were higher than in the central and eastern parts of the country. The highest number of crimes occurred in Luxembourg City, where the detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Luxembourg and Trier also handle the majority of assignments in our neighboring country.
Drug-Related Crime in Luxembourg | Private Detectives Investigate
In the area of drug-related crime, the number of reported cases in Luxembourg also increased significantly — particularly in the category “possession of narcotics.” In 2014, police caught 2,103 individuals with drugs, 25 percent more than in the previous year. Additionally, 1,878 individuals were apprehended for unlawful drug consumption (an increase of 25 percent). These developments are concerning. However, it should be noted that approximately 60 percent of offenders in transit country Luxembourg were foreign nationals. Many Europeans pass through the Grand Duchy and commit offenses during their stay. They are often the subjects of investigations conducted by our private detectives in Luxembourg — though rarely for drug offenses, and more frequently for suspicions such as infidelity, embezzlement, fraud, or fleeing abroad.
Many drug offences in Luxembourg are committed by foreigners passing through.
Juvenile Crime in Luxembourg | Private Detectives as Contacts for Concerned Parents
The proportion of juveniles under 18 involved in overall crime in Luxembourg is approximately 12 percent. The primary cause of juvenile delinquency often lies in the phase of puberty, which is accompanied by the process of identity formation. On the path to adulthood, some young people go astray. The reasons are varied: poor educational attainment, debt, social isolation. In groups, they seek identity by distancing themselves from parents and adults in general. The group replaces family bonds and provides support that they often do not receive at home.
Many teenagers share similar problems, hopes, and fears. They rebel against home and school and, in the worst cases, become delinquent. Even the most responsible guardians sometimes feel at a loss and turn to specialists. In addition to psychologists, therapists, and addiction counselors, this can include the detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Trier and Luxembourg. Through research and surveillance, our investigators can examine the facts and underlying causes of potentially criminal behavior among adolescents, providing parents with the information they need to pull the emergency brake before it is too late.
Group Dynamics and Peer Pressure as Negative Factors
Group dynamics are often responsible for entry into drug-related crime. At home, adolescents may feel unloved or restricted in their personal development; within the group, they feel accepted. They submit — albeit voluntarily — to rules similar to those in the family, but with entirely different values. This desire to belong often prevents young people from reflecting on the fact that offenses committed under peer pressure — such as theft, robbery, and drug use — are criminal acts. Once established in the drug scene and dependent on narcotics, acquisitive crime becomes a tragic but logical consequence. As guardians, you should not allow your children to slide knowingly into this downward spiral.
