Karl Steinhauer, age 35. Served in German army, WW1. Originally on eastern front, then after Russia's defeat transferred to the west in time for the unsuccessful final German offensive. Joined the Berlin police during the chaos of the post war period. Subsequently became Kriminalpolizei (Kripo) detective. Left police after falling out with superiors, probably something to do with increasing Nazi influence in the department and/or failure of police to investigate crimes committed by Nazis.
Now works for himself as a Private Investigator, often finding out things other people would rather he didn't.
Why is he on a train in the middle of Europe? Either on a case or Berlin has got a bit hot for him. Possibly he's annoyed too many of the wrong people.
Kurt Steinhauer is being played by Linden
