Corporate Investigation Bochum | Corporate Detectives

As Bochum has for some time now only had a greatly reduced, albeit still significant, mining and steel industry, the economic focus has shifted from the once dominant manufacturing sector (27.4 per cent) to the service sector (72.2 per cent). Only 0.4 per cent is attributable to forestry and other trades (2014). The largest employers in Bochum are the city itself, Ruhr University, the university hospital with the adjacent health campus for companies in the medical sector, ThyssenKrupp and the Ruhr-Park shopping centre. Furthermore, companies such as Aral AG, Deutsche Annington, the Wollschläger Group, G-DATA Software AG, Meteomedia GmbH, United Cinemas International and the Moritz Fiege private brewery are located in Bochum – these companies are spread across the city and thus set economic focal points at various locations.

 

Not only these large companies, but also many medium-sized enterprises regularly commission the corporate detectives of Kurtz Investigations Bochum, as the issue of economic crime has increased drastically in recent years. We are happy to support you and your company in clarifying suspicions: +49 234 3075 0073.

BAföG, Hartz IV, Low-Income Earners – and the Interaction with Crime

In June 2014, Bochum recorded 128,159 employees, compared to 18,809 unemployed persons (10.4 per cent) in December 2014. This places Bochum 4.2 per cent above the national average and 1.7 per cent above the average of North Rhine-Westphalia. Furthermore, in the winter semester 2014/2015, Bochum counted a total of 63,944 students and first-year students, of whom 42,719 alone were enrolled at Ruhr University Bochum.

 

Bochum maintains several town twinnings at home and abroad, with which there are in some cases close contacts at an economic level in order to promote the development of the city: Nordhausen (Thuringia), Sheffield (Great Britain), Oviedo (Spain), Donetsk (Ukraine) and Xuzhou (People’s Republic of China). Over 80,000 people with low incomes are registered in Bochum, which corresponds to 22 per cent of the population. Of course, not everyone with a low income is criminal, but where so many existences with minimal financial means are concentrated in a confined space, the risk of burglary and theft is high, as our detectives in Bochum have had to establish many times.

For many decades, mining and the steel industry were the economic engine of Bochum and the Ruhr region. Today, the former site of Krupp-Stahl AG is used as “Westpark” for recreation and as an industrial monument.
