The IHK-certified detective professionals of Kurtz Detective Agency Rhine-Neckar are available not only as economic detectives for legal entities but also as private detectives in personal matters where the client has a legitimate interest in investigations. For example, we are engaged in cases of suspected infidelity to check the current life or marital partner and can collect court-admissible evidence for legal issues concerning custody and alimony. Person searches, which sometimes result in family reunifications, are also part of our standard service portfolio. In the business sector, our detectives use surveillance, corporate infiltrations, digital and analog research, and many other methods to uncover absentee employees, payroll fraudsters, thieves, and corporate spies.
Thanks to the deployment of numerous specialists, we can also offer various special investigations. These include IT forensics and IT security experts, bug sweep specialists, counter-surveillance professionals, mantrailing handlers, and certified security consultants. It is clear that these specialists do not work at the same rate (details below). But first, we want to inform you about the fees for our core services—surveillance and investigations by our Rhine-Neckar detectives.
Our Mannheim detective agency is of course not limited to Mannheim itself; we are also available in Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg, as well as in Kaiserslautern, Darmstadt, Karlsruhe, and all towns in and around the Rhine-Neckar region. The fee structure is the same everywhere: €96.00 as a base assignment fee for file creation, data archiving, and case organization, €94.00 hourly rate billed in 15-minute increments per detective deployed, and €1.30 per kilometer traveled. As part of the agency’s policy, expenses are not billed at flat rates but only for actual costs incurred—meaning you only pay for what actually occurs.
With us, you can be sure that no hidden extra costs will arise. Any additional services requiring extra charges are always agreed upon in advance. Unlike many competitors, our Mannheim private and economic detective agency places great importance on full transparency regarding fees and services, without hiding substantial extra costs in the fine print. We are only satisfied if you are satisfied.

All our deployed investigators are trained professionals with years of experience as detectives, police officers, customs investigators, etc. Nevertheless, we offer our services at comparatively moderate prices, voluntarily adhering to the code of ethics of the International Association of Detectives. The consistently high quality of our services is available to you at all times—day or night—at the same rates. Night, holiday, or weekend surcharges are generally not applied (exception: Christmas and New Year’s Eve).
Professionalism and discretion, non-binding and high-quality client consultation, flexible adaptation to client wishes, and court-admissible evidence collection (reports and photo material)—this is what Kurtz Detective Agency Rhine-Neckar stands for. Unreliable agencies with dubious practices may charge lower rates, but illegally obtained evidence is worthless in court. In the worst case, clients must hire a reputable detective agency anyway and end up paying twice. Since detective fees are reimbursable, i.e., can be claimed from the opposing party, you should ensure that investigators are employed whose methods provide direct legal value; otherwise, reimbursement of the detective invoice for useless “services” becomes impossible.
The staff of Kurtz Detective Agency have extensive experience with conventional cases, but thanks to our broad expert network and excellent national and international contacts, we can also handle complex and unusual cases that few other agencies can manage. For example, if your minor son goes missing at night in Worms, we can deploy our mantrailing dogs, which have an almost 100% success rate. For a daily rate of €1,500.00, these highly trained dogs follow scent traces left by the missing person over streets, fields, and even water to determine their current location. Another specialty is the installation, maintenance, and evaluation of professional video surveillance systems. For example, if your front yard is regularly vandalized and you want to catch the perpetrator in the act, our technicians can install a surveillance system for a maximum of €200.00 per day (including four cameras and a recorder), with the daily rate decreasing the longer the system is used. Installation, removal, and analysis by our video technicians are generally billed at €99.00 per hour.
For business clients, our Mannheim economic detectives offer additional options, including counter-surveillance technology for suspected corporate espionage to detect bugs and other data transmission devices. We charge €52.50 per square meter for this technically demanding and costly service (equipment and training). Every square centimeter of your office or business premises is thoroughly checked; this service is also available to private clients. We can also examine employee computers for viruses, hacks, or manipulation. For assignments at your company or in your private home, our IT specialists charge €1,400.00 per day; for devices sent to our connected IT lab, many services can also be offered at lower rates.

If you would like to use one or more of our services, please contact our Mannheim private detectives free of charge and without obligation. We are available by phone during business hours (Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 20:00, weekends and holidays from 10:00 to 18:00), or by email at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-mannheim.de.
