"Reality Check: Television vs. Real Life" – Short Radio Interview on Radio Lippe with Private Investigator Patrick Kurtz

Joint Interview: Kurtz Detective Agency Bielefeld and Condor Detective Agency Detmold

Introduction: “This is Radio Lippe. Today, we’re doing a bit of a reality check: television versus real life. On TV, detectives engage in wild car chases and uncover massive scandals. Patrick Kurtz doesn’t work for Lenßen & Partner or any of those shows – no, he’s a real private investigator from Bielefeld. He also takes on professional assignments here in Lippe. Mr. Kurtz, which clichés about the detective profession actually apply to you?”

 

Patrick Kurtz: “In my case, some of those clichés are actually, funnily enough, a bit true. I started smoking a pipe when I was just 13 – long before I ever became a detective. Around that age, I was already reading Sherlock Holmes novels. But the idea, the thought of actually becoming a detective myself didn’t occur to me until much later.”

How the Detective Profession Has Changed Through the Internet

Moderator: “Okay, Sherlock Holmes is one thing – but these days, methods have gotten a lot more modern. Has the internet become something of a competitor for you?”

 

Patrick Kurtz: “I think people today have other technical tools at their disposal to figure things out on their own that they might once have needed a detective for. For example, someone might look into their husband’s Facebook account to see what kind of conversations he’s been having. Or as a business owner, you can check social media yourself to see what your employees are up to …”

 

Moderator: “Yes, that’s true. Some people really do post half their lives online.”

Detmold Detective Jochen Meismann on Social Media

Moderator: “Jochen Meismann from the Condor Detective Agency, with an office in Detmold, experiences the same thing. But he says social media also has its advantages.”

 

Jochen Meismann: “Social media allows us to find photos of people quite quickly – people whose appearance we otherwise wouldn’t know. And we often find connections we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Because how else would you know who’s friends with or related to whom? Normally, that information just isn’t available. But on Facebook, it’s all like an open book.”

 

Moderator: “Very convenient! Detectives in Lippe – a fascinating topic! This morning here on Radio Lippe – good morning!”
