Emil Tischbein had never been to Berlin before and the city felt enormous and overwhelming to him. He had arrived there by accident, following a thief through streets he had never walked before. He had no map and no friends and no money and no plan beyond simply not losing sight of the man. But Emil had something that turned out to be more useful than any of these things he was lacking. He had the determination of someone who has been wronged and refuses to accept it without a fight. And very soon he would discover that Berlin had children in it who were looking for exactly this kind of adventure. Emil lost his money on the train — so he decided to catch the thief himself.

The Berlin that Emil enters on foot, following Grundeis through its busy streets, is not the city he had expected to find. He had imagined visiting his grandmother in a comfortable and planned way — arriving, being welcomed, presenting the money with pride. Instead he was pursuing a criminal through crowds of strangers who had no idea that anything significant was happening around them. The city was indifferent to his situation in the way that large cities always are indifferent to individual crises and dramas. But Emil did not need the city's attention — he needed to keep Grundeis in sight until he could figure out what to do next. He followed the man into a café, watched him from outside, and then heard a voice ask if he needed help with something. That voice belonged to Gustav with the horn — the beginning of the team that would make the impossible suddenly possible. Emil lost his money on the train — so he decided to catch the thief himself.

Emil and the Detectives belongs to a tradition of children's fiction in which young people accomplish what adults have failed or declined to do. The genre assumes something that is both flattering to children and genuinely true — that they sometimes see situations more clearly than adults. Adults bring experience and resources to problems, but they also bring caution, bureaucratic habit, and a developed capacity for accepting loss. Emil has none of the adults' advantages and none of their limitations either — he simply sees a wrong and moves to address it directly. Kästner, writing in 1929, was making a point that was partly political and partly moral about the difference between seeing clearly and acting effectively. The children in this story are effective precisely because they have not yet learned to be realistic in the adult sense — to accept what cannot be changed. Emil's decision to follow the thief is unrealistic by adult standards and entirely correct by the standards of basic moral integrity. He lost his money on the train and decided to catch the thief himself, which is what any honest person would do who had not yet learned to give up. Emil lost his money on the train — so he decided to catch the thief himself.
