Course Description:	This course examines criminal literature written about the cosmopolitan city of Berlin.

Theoretical backgrounds, such as the typical action patterns and protagonists in the detective novel, thriller, espionage novel and company critical criminal literature, are addressed as well. The class also looks at the popularity of criminal literature over time. There is a class field trip in which the class is guided through the city's "criminal route."
