In 1975, Witten exceeded 100,000 inhabitants for the first time and was granted major city status; meanwhile, as the largest city in the Ennepe-Ruhr district, Witten now has only 98,701 inhabitants (2024). Owing to the good motorway and rail connections to the rest of the Ruhr area and partly beyond, Witten is a popular place of residence for people employed in neighbouring cities and, moreover, located amid numerous local recreation areas, a popular excursion destination. Hiking trails as well as the Ruhr with its ferry and excursion traffic and the Kemnader Reservoir attract the “Pottler” from the most densely populated conurbations to the south-eastern Ruhr area. For our private detectives in Witten, local residents and visitors alike are clients and target persons, for example when observing an unfaithful spouse or an employee who uses a false sick note to pursue a hobby.
Alongside steel and mechanical engineering (Weichenwerk Witten, Deutsche Edelstahlwerke) and the chemical industry, the service sector occupies an important place in Witten’s economic structure. Companies such as Evonik, the furniture retailer Ostermann and Pilkington Automotive Glass favour this business location because its immediate proximity to the core Ruhr area offers short routes for deliveries and dispatch.
This solid economy inevitably attracts crime, as shown by the statistics for 2014. Fraud offences increased year on year by 18.6 per cent to 1,228 cases, while the clear-up rate (AQ) fell by 6.1 per cent. Among other things, goods and trade credit fraud recorded a significant increase of 9.0 per cent to 414 cases, with the AQ falling by 5.5 per cent. A large proportion of fraud offences are committed to the detriment of companies. Wage and expense accounting fraud, competition fraud, insurance fraud and many other offences such as data theft cause in some cases devastating damage. Our qualified corporate detectives in Witten are your competent points of contact in all cases of economic crime: +49 234 3075 0073.
