This is one of those movies that will stay with you for the rest of your life. The characters are ugly and disturbing, there is nothing "cute" in this movie.
There are constant parallelisms drawn between the police and the underworld and the common way in which they operate.
We also get to journey into the mind of the madman. If you enjoyed "Silence of the Lambs", you should see this also.
Of course you must be patient enough to deal with subtitles, and the fact that this is a very old movie - one of the first "talkies". But most viewers will get something out of the dialogue even without knowing the German language.
