Herne has held the status of a major city since 1933 and, through the merger with Wanne-Eickel in 1975, was able to almost double its population (193,831 inhabitants). As a result of pit closures in the Ruhr area and thus also in Herne, unemployment figures rose and outward migration followed. Today, only 154,608 people live in Herne, with an inglorious unemployment rate of 13.8% (2014). The next setback followed at the end of 2016, when the last Opel Zafira rolled off the production line at the Opel plant in Bochum. From then on, this production site of what was once Germany’s largest car manufacturer was closed. The share of manufacturing industry continues to decline, and the service sector is also not very strongly represented – despite well-known companies such as UPS, Deutsche Annington and Graf Reisen.
High unemployment and poor employment prospects provide fertile ground for crime, particularly property offences such as theft, residential burglary, robbery and fraud. In these and many other cases, our qualified detectives in Herne support private individuals and companies alike.
Herne is connected to the rest of the Ruhr area via its inland port and the federal motorways A42 and A43; there are also international rail connections. Nevertheless, the economy has not recovered from the pit closures. Social hotspots are primarily the districts of Wanne, Wanne-Süd, Herne-Mitte and Baukau, where unemployment is particularly high and incomes are correspondingly low. Residential burglary, goods and trade credit fraud, fraud involving stolen cashless payment instruments and other such property offences severely endanger security in Herne’s districts. Furthermore, local companies likewise face the consequences of criminal damage, embezzlement and theft, and they are no less affected than elsewhere by typical offences for which our corporate-detection unit for Herne is commonly engaged: malingering within the workforce, unlawful poaching of customers by former employees, manipulation of expense claims, and so on.
For victims of these offences, as well as for all other matters in which the work of our detectives in Herne can be of assistance, our knowledgeable investigators are at your disposal. If required, please use our contact form or call us: +49 234 3075 0073.
