Based on unpublished documents from the history of Mannheim, internal personnel appointments in leadership positions, and deployment events, Norbert Leidig paints a multifaceted picture of Mannheim's police history and its immediate surroundings for interested readers. He locates these within the corresponding buildings, which often have their own distinct histories. With rich knowledge and attention to detail, he creates a connection between city history and police history. In doing so, he draws not only on historical sources but also on his own nearly forty years of experience in police service. Another unusual book from the pen of Norbert Leidig.
