Hanover, as the strongest location in the Hanover–Braunschweig–Göttingen–Wolfsburg metropolitan region and the transport centre of the Federal Republic, has significant economic importance. Here, east–west motorway connections intersect with the BAB 7, linking Baden-Württemberg via Hesse and Lower Saxony to Hamburg. These road connections are crucial for many companies that rely on freight transport by lorry. In addition, the Mittelland Canal connects Hanover via the Hannover-Linde branch canal to inland shipping, handling 1.4 million tonnes of cargo in 2013. Waterways, particularly the Leine, have likely been of great importance for the city since its foundation at a ford on the Leine.
The name Hanover probably refers to the protected hill location of the original settlement (Middle High German "Honovere" = "High Shore"). From this small settlement, a major economic centre developed over the centuries in one of the world’s strongest economies. Employee surveillance, economic crime, competition-related offences, warehouse and transport theft, and many other crimes are committed here daily, ensuring that the corporate detectives of Kurtz Investigations Hanover never lack work.
Hanover has a very balanced economic structure, without clearly dominant industries. However, the proportion of future-oriented sectors, such as the energy industry, is notable. The state capital has successfully transformed into a city of knowledge, education, and research. Yet, due to criminal activities by employees, business partners, and competitors, German companies suffer damages amounting to billions every year.
Individual employees commit theft, and sometimes acts of sabotage. Excessive expenses are claimed, sick leave is taken while working for competitors, and so on. Competitors attempt to obtain technological solutions, patents, or other corporate secrets through industrial espionage. Cases of unfair practices or credit risks occur. Companies are blackmailed, threatened, or coerced. The need and potential for corporate investigations grow year by year.
Kurtz Investigations Hanover offers the following corporate investigations, among others:
Companies do not always want internal matters to be publicly resolved by the judiciary. Evidence obtained through the work of our Hanover-based corporate detectives often allows an out-of-court settlement with the employee acting illegally. You can rely on our discretion.
