Kriminaltechnische Tasche · DDR
Kriminaltechnische Tasche, abbreviated KT-Tasche, (English: Forensic kit), 1
is a collection of forensic tools
and consumables, stowed in a foldable leather
case, made from the mid-1960s to the late 1980s by VEB Polygraph Reprotechnik in
Leipzig (DDR).
During the Cold War it was used in East-Germany (DDR) by forensic detectives of the
Volkspolizei (People's Police) and officers of the repressive
East-German intelligence service
Ministerium für Staatssicherheit (MfS, Stasi) [1].
|
The kit comprises a leather carrying bag with a roll-out compartmented
custom-made interior and a set of more than 60 tools and consumables,
each stowed in its own dedicated space. Among the tools are every day objects,
like scissors, hammer and pencil, but also specific tools like brushes, test tubes,
bottles, rubber gloves, calipers, waterproof markers
and plaster.
Everything needed to investigate a crime scene and secure the evidence is
present in the kit, even the tools needed to straighten the fingers and take
fingerprints from a deceased person.

This page give a detailed account of the contents of the East-German
Forensic Kit, which was in production for many years.
As a result, there may be small differences between kits, since items were
sometimes replaced by better or newer alternatives.
Although the layout of the kit was never changed,
there are some differences in construction. In particular the
bands that hold the items in place, can be made of leather or elastic band.
In the kit featured here, elastic bands are used.
The contents of the kit are described in a checklist, of which
three versions are known to exist.
Although the kit was produced for more than 20 years, it is very rare.
Most kits had been used extensively, and were discarded when
the DDR ceased to exist. The ones that have survived, are usually in very
good condition as they came from new old stock (NOS).
After the Wende, they were often taken home by former police detectives
and Stasi officers. Some household items, such as screwdrivers, chisels and
the hammer, were reused and are therefore often missing.

Literally translated: Technical Criminalist Bag. Also known as Spurensicherungskoffer
(Forensic kit).
|
Below is an overview of the layout and contents of the kit in our collection.
This is largely identical to the layout shown in the
photograph in the original booklet,
with a few corrections to the index and the descriptions.
Furthermore, the red marker has been moved to a different location.
Each of the parts is discussed in more detail below the
image, followed by the original checklists.
Note that the forensic kit shown here has elastic bands for holding the various
items, whereas the one in the orignal photograph
has leather straps. As a result, there are a few vacant spaces which can be
used for additional items.
According to the photograph in the
original booklet,
the red wax marker should be stowed in the same position
as the rubber gloves on panel 1.
There is very little space at that position however, so we moved it
to a vacant space on panel 2. We also reversed the position of the
combination pliers and the gimlet on panel 2,
as otherwise they fell out.
|
All items described below are packed in a compact brown leather case
of which the interior can be unfolded. The fold-out, of which one end
is fixated to the case, consists of four rigid leather panels,
with soft leather strips in between.
Some of the soft strips also hold items.
By attaching the leather carrying strap
to the sides of the case, the forensic kit can be carried from the
shoulder.
|
|
|
A large leather wallet at A4+ size is stowed inside the kit.
At one side it carries the
checklist. At the other side is a
large pocket in which A4 writing paper
is kept, along with blotting paper, carbon paper, a set of envelopes
and a leaflet.
In practice, this pocket also contained empty forms for describing
a crime scene, evidence, post mortum examination, etc.
|
|
|
This wooden container is stowed in the pocket on panel 1.
It has three cylindrical hollow spaces that are closed by a
movable lid. The lid can be locked by means of a pivoting metal arm.
The container is used to store sublimate tablets.
In the DDR, sublimate tablets (German: Sublimattabletten) were used
for disinfection.
|
|
|
A small glass panel is stowed under the
wooden container for sublimate tablets in the pocket
on panel 1. It can be used for a variety of procedures, including
the taking of fingerprints.
When taking fingerprints, a drop of ink is applied to the glass
panel, which is then evenly spread by means of the ink roller,
after which is can be transferred to the fingers.
|
|
|
Several markers were provided that could be used for a variety of
purposes, such as marking the position of a body in a crime scene.
A red marker, in German known as a Signierstift, was stowed
on panel 1 together with the rubber gloves.
Additional markers in different colours were often used
by the investigators.
In a later version of the kit, the marker was stowed on panel 2,
in between the wood chisel and the hammer.
|
|
|
In order not to compromise any evidence, it is mandatory for the
investigator to wear rubber gloves at all times. A plastic bag with
two pair of rubber gloves (medium and large) is stowed on panel 1.
It is stowed together with the marker.
Note that a fresh pair of gloves had to be obtained after each investigation,
The pairs shown here have deteriorated beyond use.
|
|
|
Two soft flat brushes – a large and a small one – (German: Pinsel)
are provided for general use. They are stowed on top of each other
on panel 1.
|
|
|
A small stone chisel (German: Meißel) is provided for general use.
It is stowed at the bottom left of panel 1, and should be used in combination
with the supplied hammer.
The stone chisel can be used to cut-off small parts of stone, e.g. when
taking samples, or for creating a small gutter to hide a (covert) wire.
In the latter case, the cutter can be closed with the supplied
plaster once the wire is in place.
|
|
|
A regular center punch (German: Körner) is provided for general use.
It should be used in combination with the supplied hammer.
A center punch is a tool to mark the centre of a point. It is often used to
mark the centre when drilling a hole, and prevents the drill from 'wandering'
(i.e. drifting from the centre).
|
|
|
A common pocket knife (German: Taschenmesser) was provided for general use,
such as cutting. Several types of pocket knifes, in a variety of colours,
are known to have been supplied with the kit over the years, depending on
whatever was available on the DDR market.
The image on the right shows the knife that was
originally supplied with the
kit in the 1960s and 70s. Variants, such as
this red knife are also known to have been supplied.
|
|
|
A regular punch (German: Durchslag) is provided for general use.
It should be used in combination with the supplied hammer, and is stowed
at the bottom left of panel 1.
The punch should not be confused with the center punch
which is also located on panel 1.
A punch is similar to a center punch but has a flat tip and a
tapered shaft.
It can be used to drive a flat-head nail, to punch a hole in a thin object,
or to align the holes of two separate components before inserting a fastener.
In the latter case it is also known as a drift punch.
|
|
|
A regular black of brown eyebrow pencil (German: Augenbrauenstift)
was provided for enhancing the contrast of a
(dead) person's eyebrows before taking pictures.
Several types of eyebrow pencils are known to have been supplied with the
kit, including the one shown in the image on the right. When the tip of
the pencil is worn out, it can be cut off, after which a new tip can be
created by sliding the black knob towards the tip, in the same vein as
a technical pencil.
|
|
|
This miniture lipstick (German: Lippenstift)
was used to highlight the lips of a dead body before taking
photographs. Even with black & white photography, this improves
the contrast.
The lipstick was from the East-German Florena brand, model
'Billy', and the colour was cherry red (German: Kirschrot).
Note that the lipstick may have dried out and become brittle
after 50+ years. It should not be used anymore.
In our case, we replaced the insert with a fresh one.
|
|
|
|
Anatomic tweezers (German: Pinzette) were supplied for picking up
small objects that should not be touched by hand, such as fibres and hair.
|
|
|
|
A regular pair of (medical) scissors (German: Schere) was provided for
general use.
|
|
|
This drawing compass (German: Zirkel) from the East-German brand Richter
was provided for general use. It can be used to draw a map of a crime scene,
using the supplied drawing paper, but also to measure the internal width of
an object, in cases where regular ruler can't be used.
The drawing compass has two hinged legs, one with a needle and one with a
pencil lead. If necessary, the lead can be replaced by another needle or by
an inking attachment nib
(which is also supplied in the kit).
|
|
|
A regular pencil eraser is provided for general use.
It can be used for example to make corrections when drawing a
a situation scetch, or for removing markings on objects.
|
|
|
A high precision vernier caliper was provided for taking accurate dimensions.
In German it is known as a Shieblehre or Meßschieber.
The caliper supplied with the kit is slightly shorter than a regular one,
as otherwise it doesn't fit the leather case. The caliper is stowed on
panel 1, with its front end covered by a leather flap.
|
|
|
A small viscose sponge (German: Viskoseschwamm) is provided to
allow liquids to be sampled and transferred to a test tube, glass
bottle or any other storage container.
The sponge is usually kept in a plastic bag that is stowed on panel 1.
|
|
|
A commom linen kitchen towel (German: Handtuch or Küchenhandtuch)
is provided for general use. It is kept in a plastic bag (German: Perlonbeutel),
stowed in the pocket under panel 1.
The towel shown in the image on the right was originally supplied with our kit.
It is typical for the era, but other types were provided as well.
|
|
|
A pair of combination pliers (German: Kombinationszange) is provided for
general use. It can be used for example for cutting (electric) wires,
fastening and loosening bolts and nuts, bending steel, etc.
The pliers are stowed in the top left of panel 2 (above the gimlet),
but is not firmly held by the elastic band. For that reason, some users
stowed it upside down. Note that this is only possible with kits that have
elastic bands.
|
|
|
This small hand drill, also known as a gimlet
(German: Schneckenbohrer or Nagelbohrer),
can be used for drilling small holes, mainly in wood, without splitting.
The gimlet is stowed under the combination pliers on panel 2.
|
|
|
|
|
Postmortem fingerprint tools
|
|
|
Taking fingerprints from a deceased person can be difficult, as the fingers
may be bended and stiff, as a result of rigor mortis. For this purpose,
the two tools shown in the image on the right are supplied. The left one is
a post mortem finger straightener and has a
claw at one end.
The right one is a cadaver spoon, also known as a post mortem strip holder.
The rigs in the curved interior can hold a paper strip, allowing the fingerprints
to be transferred to the paper strip without moving
or rotating the fingers of the deceased.
|
|
|
|
A medium-size wood chisel (German: Beitel or Stecheisen)
is provided for general use. It is stowed on Panel 2 and can be used for a
variety of things, including the taking of samples, and modifying a wooden
floor or a piece of furniture in order to place a
listening device (bug).
|
|
|
A small hammer is provided for simple mechanical tasks.
It can be used for example in combination with the wood and
stone chisels that are supplied with the kit.
The hammer was initially missing from the kit in our collection, but has
meanwhile been replaced by an identical model from new-old-stock (NOS).
|
|
|
Two regular flat-head screwsdrivers were present: a large one with a width
of 6 mm and a small one with a width of 3 mm. The latter is typically used
for electric wiring, plugs, etc.
The image on the right shows an example of the screwdrivers that were
typically supplied with the forensic kit, although other types and sizes are
known to have been supplied as well.
|
|
|
This flexible rubber cup was supplied for mixing plaster
or other substances with water. The one shown here is still flexible, but
is a bit deformed due to long stowage under an elestic band. It is
still perfectly fit for use though.
At the bottom of the cup are several markings and
order numbers. The accompanying plaster can be found in the
two leather pockets on panel 4. For mixing and applying the plaster,
a spatula can be found between panels 3 and 4.
|
|
|
This universal metal ruler (German: Stahlmaß) can be used for taking
dimensions, measuring small distances, and making crime scene drawings.
It can also be used as a size reference when taking forensic pictures,
such as photographs of confiscated items, the size of a bullet hole or
the length of a wound.
It can be found at the soft leather section between panels 2
and 3, where it is stowed together with the teasing brush and/or comb.
|
|
|
The teasing brush and the comb shown in the image on the right,
are regular household items of DDR vintage. They were supplied
with the forensic kit for tidying up a corpse prior to taking
photographs.
Some kits came with the teasing brush only, some with a comb only and
some with both. Colours may vary.
|
|
|
Three small glass test tubes (German: Reagenzgläser) can be found
at the top left of panel 3. They are approx 83 mm long and 16 mm wide,
and are closed with a rubber cap.
The test tubes are intended for keeping samples, fibres, hair, etc.
that is found on a crime scene. When filled with liquid, they should
be kept outside the kit, as the cap may come off.
|
|
|
Four glass bottles (German: Glasflasche) with glass caps are provided
for general use. One bottle has a wide neck, whilst the other three
have a regular (narrow) neck.
The bottles can be used for a variety of things, but were generally
used to keep specific liquids or other chemical substances.
|
|
|
In addition to the three small glass test tubes,
(German: Reagenzglëser)
there are two tall ones with a removable glass cap. An accurate scale
printed along the body of the tube, allows it to be used for precision work.
The two test tubes are stowed in two tall wooden containers
(German: Holzbehalter or Holzhülse) that can be found on panel 3.
|
|
|
When taking fingerprints (from a living or a deceased person), this
ink roller can be used in combination with the black printing ink
(the tube on panel 4) and the plass panel stowed in the leather
pocket on panel 1.
A drop of ink should be applied to the glass panel, and should then be
spread evenly with the ink roller, before transferring it to the fingers.
After use, the roller must be cleaned and packed in a plastic bag,
before stowing it on panel 3.
|
|
|
This plastic compass was used for orientation, especially when working
in the field. It was also used to specify the orientation of a dead body.
The compass was manufactured in East Germany (DDR) and was supplied with
operating instructions and a warrantly card.
It is known in German as a Marschkompass (marching compass).
|
|
|
For finding hair, fabric fibres or any other silent witnesses on a crime
screne, this folding magnifier was provided. It is stowed on panel 3.
It is slightly larger than the black variant that was supplied with earlier
versions of the kit.
In German it is known as Einschlaglupe.
|
|
|
A standard household candle was supplied with the kit.
Its exact purpose is currently unknown, but is seems likely that the
melted candle wax was used for duplicating small objects, such
as keys and fingerprints.
|
|
|
When taking dimensions of a curved object – for example
body parts – this flexible tailor's tape measure was supplied.
It is one metre long and can be wrapped around an object.
In German it is known as Schneiderbandmaß.
For rigid objects, the metal ruler should be used instead.
For objects longer than one metre, the
5 metre roll-up tape measure should be used.
|
|
|
Two small packs of regular travel soap (German: Reiseseife) are provided
for general use. They can be found on panel 3.
In an earlier version of the forensic kit (1968), the soap was kept in a small
container (German: Seife in Dose).
The two packs of soap shown in the image on the right were originally
supplied with the kit.
|
|
|
A box with common household matches (German: Streichhölzer) is provided for
general purposes, such as lighting the supplied candle.
For safety reasons, it is held in a metal container that is stowed on panel 3.
The matches shown here are of DDR vintage and
were made by VEB Zündwarenwerke in Riesa (DDR). They were originally
supplied with the kit.
|
|
|
Thumbtacks (German: Reißzwecken) are always useful for temporarily fixating
things, such as pinning a note to the wall.
A small carton box with 50 thumbtacks are provided for general use.
It can be found on panel 3.
|
|
|
One regular coloured pencil (German: Magazinstift) is provided for
making water resistant markings, colouring drawings and signing of
documents, such as official forensic reports.
In most cases, a red or blue pencil was supplied. The coloured
lead of such pencils is not made of graphite but from a wax compound,
which cannot easily be erased.
It was often used as a proof of authenticity of an original (signed)
document.
|
|
|
Two yellow technical pencils (German: Druckfallstift) are present.
One is filled with a regular graphite pencil lead (German:
Druckfallstift mit Bleimine), whilst the other one holds
a so-called copy lead (German: Druckfallstift mit Kopiermine),
used for drawing consistent width lines.
The advantage of using technical pencils is that they can be
refilled with bare leads, and that spare leads can be kept
inside their bodies.
|
|
|
A large plastic sheet is provided for general use.
When unused, it is folded and held in a plastic bag that is stowed
in the pocket under panel 4.
On the German checklist it is listed as Gummiunterlage im Perlonbeutel
(Rubber pad in nylon bag) or Plastfolie (Plastic sheet). The latter is
the correct description, as the sheet is not made of rubber and the bag is not
made of nylon. In reality, both the bag and the sheet are made of a PVC-like
material.
|
|
|
A plastic bag with green modelling clay was provided as part of the kit.
In German it is known as Plastelina, which is one of many
brand names under which it was available at the time.
The clay stays flexible and does not dry out, so that it can be
used over and over again. It is ideal for temporarily fixating an object,
or duplicating small shapes like house keys.
Despite the fact that the Plastelina was intended to stay flexible,
the clay shown here has meanwhile dried out and become rigid after
more than 50 years in storage.
|
|
|
A plastic spool with 10 metres of nylon cord was provided for temporarily
tying things together or for cordonning off the area of a crime scene.
It is probably the only item in the kit that is specified as 'nylon'
(German: Perlon) and which is actually made of nylon.
|
|
|
|
This tube with black printing ink was typically used for taking
fingerprints, either from a living or a deceaded person. It was
applied to the glass panel stowed in the leather pocket on panel 1,
and the ink roller on panel 3. The roller was used to spread the
ink evenly over the glass panel before transferring it to the fingers.
|
|
|
This 5 metre long roll-up tape measure was typically used to measure
dimensions and distances higher than 1 metre. Like the 1 metre toilor's tape
measure, it is flexible, so that it can be wrapped around objects and
corners.
The tape measure (German: Rollenbandmaß) is stowed at the bottom left of panel 4.
|
|
|
Two bags of plaster are supplied with the kit. They are stowed in the
two leather pockets on panel 4, and should be mixed with water in
the supplied rubber cup on panel 2. A spatula for mixing
applying the plaster, is stowed between panels 3 and 4.
Plaster can be used for example for duplicating footprints and tyre tracks,
but also for repairing a wall after hiding a
covert listening device (bug)
and/or its wiring.
|
|
|
This flashlight was supplied with every forensic kit. It is of
East-German manufacture, and is similar to the ones
used by the German Army during WWII. The sliders at the front
can be used to place a red or green filter in front of the lamp.
Flashlight were typically used to illuminate the scene when working
in the dark, or as a warning mark at a crime scene.
|
|
|
This small pocket book is the handbook for forensic investigators
(German: Handbuch für Kriminalisten).
It describes all situations that an investigator may encounter, and gives
guidelines on how to proceed and how to secure evidence.
The book is slightly larger than DIN A6 and has a plastic red cover.
At least two issues of the book are known, released in 1975 and 1982
respectively. It should be used in combination with the
supplement below, in which many examples and forensic
forms can be found.

|
|
|
|
Handbook - example forms -
|
|
|
This book is a supplement to the Handbuch für Kriminalisten
shown above, and provides examples of the various forensic forms
and how they should be completed by investigators.
The DIN A5-sized supplement had a soft red paper cover.
|

We received the forensic kit featured on this page in August 2025
as a gift from the Australian Spy Museum [1]. Despite its age
— probably more than 50 years — it was in excellent condition, with only
minor wear to the exterior. The sides of the case had become detached
from the bottom, as the stitches were almost completely gone.
We decided to have the exterior and the leather carrying strap professionally
treated by a leather specialist and have the sides re-stitched invisibly,
so that it will survive the next couple of decades.
Most of the original items were present,
but some of the more common household items were missing, in particular
the hammer, screwdrivers, pocket knife and
vernier caliper.
It seems likely that, after the Wende, the kits were taken home
by forensic investigators, who used these objects for work in and around
their house.
Luckily these items were easily found on
German auction websites like eBay. Even the rarer items from the former
DDR, such as the red marker (Signierstift) and the
coloured pencil (Magazinstift) could still be found on the internet.
Items that were wrapped in a plastic bag, were cleaned and were then placed
in a modern polyethylene bag, as the original ones had
started to decompose (see below).
The small lipstick that is stowed on panel 1, had come apart
and had spread itself throughout the interior. Luckily, it could easily be
removed as the lipstick itself of become hard and brittle over the years.
The contents of the lipstick holder were replaced by a fresh insert from a
local store.
We also added two books that are not part of the orignal kit: the
Criminalist Handbook (Handbuch für Kriminalisten) and a
supplement with
numerous examples of completed forensic reports and forms.
|
|
Some of the items are packed in a transparent plastic bag that appears
to have degraded over the years. In the checklists, these bags
are described as Perlonbeutel. This refers to the brand name Perlon,
or Nylon 6, developed during WWII in Germany to evade existing
patents for Nylon 6,6.
|
It is unlikely though that the plastic bags are
actually made of nylon, ans nylon is not transparent. It is more likely that
in this context Perlon is used as a generic name for plastic.
In any case, some of the plastic bags in our forensic kit appear to have become
unstable and have started to decompose, resulting in a 'foggy' and 'sticky' surface.
Since it is known that unstable plastics may damage or degrade
materials that it comes in contact with, we replaced them by modern inert
alternatives. The original ones are stowed in a safe place for future reference.
|
|
|
|
The same type of plastic bags were supplied with an
East-German spy radio set
in our collection, that was found in an underground cache somewhere in Europe.
Like the ones found with the forensic kit, these bags had become 'foggy',
'sticky' and less flexible, and had to be removed in order to prevent
deterioration of the contents. The problem of old plastics is not unique
to the East-German bags, but is also seen with foam rubber manufactured in the
former USSR.

A complex toolkit like the forensic kit shown here, does not come without a
proper checklist. Several versions of the checklist are known to exist,
all of which appear to contain mistakes and omissions.
So far, the following versions of the checklist have turned up:
|
Below is a transcript of the typed checklist
that was found in a KT-Tasche at the Hans Gross Kriminalmuseum in Austria [2].
The checklist is fitted – behind a transparent sheet – at the
rear side of the leather wallet that
contains a variety of papers. It is believed to be of 1968 vintage.
Like with the printed checklist, there are some ommissions and
mistakes. In the list below, additional remarks – added by us – are
shown in brackets.
➤ Original typed checklist (1986)

Perlon is a German brand name for Nylon 6, developed during WWII to
evade the existing patents for Nylon 6,6. It was mostly used for the
production of fibres, and it is unlikely that it was also used for
transparent plastic bags. It is more likely that Perlon was used
as a generic name for plastic.
➤ Wikipedia
-
According to the checklist, the large semi-transparent foldable sheet is
made of rubber. In reality though, it is made of a material similar to PVC.

Printed checklist (~1975)

|
|
Below is the full list of items in the forensic kit, based on the
printed checklist [A]
provided with the kit [1]. It should be used in combination with
this indexed photograph.
Note that the actual items supplied with the kit may differ from the
ones shown in the photograph, due to the long time frame in which the
kits were manufactured and replacement with better quality items.
In practice, many investigators added extra tools and materials
in various places over the years.
Also note that both the list and the photograph contain serveral
mistakes and omissions. For example, the position of items 10 (towel)
and 36 (nylon bags) is incorrect, and the item at the centre of the
3rd panel – the ink roller – is not listed at all.
For a more correct overview, refer to the typed checklist.
In the list below, additional remarks – added by us – are shown in brackets.

Perlon is a German brand name for Nylon 6, developed during WWII to
evade the existing patents for Nylon 6,6. It was mostly used for the
production of fibres, and it is unlikely that it was also used for
transparent plastic bags. It is more likely that Perlon was used
as a generic name for plastic.
