Detection of Stalkers

Stalking (referred to as "Nachstellung" under German law) is a criminal offence that can permanently impair the victim’s quality of life and have physical as well as psychological effects, up to and including suicide. If you are affected, you should contact the qualified private detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Rhein-Neckar promptly as an early de-escalation measure. We document the illegal intrusions into your privacy in a manner admissible in court: +49 621 9535 4001.

Cause and Effect | Experiences of Our Private Detectives

The trigger for a stalker’s behaviour varies greatly from case to case: a polite yet unfortunately misinterpreted tone toward a stranger; the rejection of an expression of affection; an ex-partner unwilling to accept the separation; an affair misperceived as the start of a committed relationship, etc. Due to this apparent diversity of scenarios, there is no universal formula for dealing with stalkers. In the best case, simply ignoring the perpetrator or making it unmistakably clear that their behaviour will have no effect on you is sufficient. Initially, it is often impossible to predict whether the comparatively “harmless” stalking in the form of harassing phone calls, emails, or WhatsApp messages will escalate or whether the perpetrator will increasingly resort to more drastic methods, up to and including physical violence.

Therefore, early countermeasures are essential – our Mannheim detectives can support you in this. For a non-binding enquiry, please use our contact form or call us.

When the Stalker Becomes a Physical Threat

Stalking was finally included in the criminal code in 2007 (§ 238), yet this deters perpetrators – all of whom exhibit behavioural disorders – little or not at all. They terrorise their victims not only with late-night phone calls or persistent doorbell ringing but also embed themselves into their lives like lice in a fur coat. There is not a single moment when the victim can feel unobserved and undisturbed: orders placed by the stalker in the victim’s name (from pizza to wardrobes), threatening letters, vehicles “decorated” with defamatory messages, other forms of property damage, slander among relatives, acquaintances, and colleagues, and even physical assaults – the psychological pressure on the victim steadily increases as the harassment continues.

This must not be allowed to happen! Contact our private detectives early for Speyer, Mannheim, Bensheim, and the entire Rhine-Neckar metropolitan area; we are experienced in handling this issue and discreet in carrying out the necessary investigations. Restoring your privacy and your fundamental right to a self-determined life is our primary objective. Our investigation results are compiled in a court-admissible report, enabling you to pursue legal remedies – for example, a temporary injunction under the Protection Against Violence Act, criminal charges, and claims for damages. We are happy to provide you with comprehensive, non-binding advice tailored to your specific stalking case. You can discuss your concern with either a male investigator or a female detective. For an initial non-binding contact, please send an email to our Mannheim private detective agency at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-mannheim.de or call us: +49 621 9535 4001.
