Among other things due to its central location in Europe between Germany, Belgium and France, Luxembourg is home to several authorities of the European Union, including the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Court of Auditors and the European Investment Bank. Apart from private investigations, for example surveillance in cases of adultery, the work of our detectives in Luxembourg therefore focuses primarily on financial issues: absconded debtors, professional fraudsters, thieves, forgers and many other offenders are among the most frequent target persons of Kurtz Investigations Luxembourg.
Both in research and in surveillance, our business investigators and private detectives in Luxembourg operate in a routine, qualified and discreet manner on behalf of our clients – perhaps soon also for you: +49 651 2094 0060. Not convinced yet? Take a look at our references!
With an area of 2,586 km², Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in the world and in January 2015 had only 562,958 inhabitants. Luxembourg City lies in the south of the country and, with 111,287 inhabitants and an area of 51.5 km², is the largest city of the Grand Duchy (2015). In 1340, John of Bohemia ruled in Luxembourg and began the construction of a ring wall to separate Luxembourg City from the surrounding countryside. In the following three centuries until 1795, the city was expanded into a fortress that was among the most resilient in Europe, yet was repeatedly occupied in turn by Spaniards, Austrians, Dutch, French and Prussians. Ultimately, France prevailed in the First Coalition War and Luxembourg remained under French rule for a long time.
The changing occupying powers are reflected in today’s population structure, which records a proportion of foreign nationals of 45.9 per cent (2015), and in the linguistic diversity of the state: with Luxembourgish, German and French there are three official languages, in addition to large communities of Portuguese, Belgian and Italian origin. Accordingly, it is of great importance for investigations in Luxembourg to have a large number of qualified private detectives with different backgrounds who can operate flexibly within the respective milieu and who command the various languages of possible target persons as well as important informants. With this portfolio, Kurtz Detective Agency Luxembourg is able to serve from its own pool of investigators and through cooperations.
Not only in the Middle Ages and the early modern period was there “cut and thrust” in Luxembourg (see above): in 2014 alone, 3,187 cases of assault were recorded in Luxembourg City. The perpetrators often proceed with alarming brutality: in 728 cases the victims were injured so severely that they were temporarily unfit for work after the offence. Many offences are financially motivated, especially in cases of robbery, yet acts of revenge or attempts to “silence” someone must also repeatedly be suspected behind violent crimes in Luxembourg. For the country remains a refuge for many criminals, some of whom have been involved with the big players and accordingly possess sensitive information.
Although detectives from Kurtz Investigations Luxembourg are only rarely called in to assist in the clarification of violent offences, this does occur, and naturally we are pleased to contribute the expertise and experience of our criminal investigators to the resolution of such case constellations as well: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-luxemburg.com.

Many European offenders pack their suitcases and find in Luxembourg a supposedly safe haven. The detectives of Kurtz Investigations Luxembourg are experts in whereabouts investigations in the Grand Duchy.
Luxembourg is a founding member of the European Economic Community and a meeting place of the Council of the European Union. Yet what is regarded within the EU as an advantage – namely Luxembourg’s central location in Central Europe – is in terms of crime a disadvantage for the Grand Duchy, in which our detectives operate from Trier. For due to its proximity to Germany, Belgium and France, not only do almost half of employees consist of cross-border commuters from neighbouring states, but perpetrators can also quickly and sometimes untraceably disappear, or offenders from these countries can seek refuge in Luxembourg. This particularly concerns motor vehicle thefts: almost every day a car is stolen in Luxembourg City. In 2014 there were a total of 325 vehicles. Above all, however, the country is plagued by offences connected with the financial sector, as we have already mentioned above. For many victims, our detectives in Luxembourg are the last opportunity to recover their property or to obtain their legal rights.
