Ernst August Ferdinand Gennat was one of the most influential figures in criminal investigation in early 20th-century Germany, leading Berlin’s criminal police for about 30 years. Known for innovative methods, he organized and consolidated the Zentrale Mordinspektion, whose high homicide clearance rate reflected his emphasis on systematic procedures and strict preservation of evidence.
Gennat introduced modern investigative practices: strict rules for securing the crime scene, the use of a mobile unit equipped for forensic work, and the creation of an extensive centralized archive of violent cases that facilitated links between crimes. He valued psychological observation, memory, and persistence as essential tools, rejecting violent interrogation methods.
His notable work included inquiries into the era’s famous cases and the early formulation of the concept of the "serial killer" when addressing crimes in Düsseldorf. Gennat’s legacy is evident in the institutionalization of forensic techniques and a preventive emphasis that anticipated principles of modern criminology.
