In 2018 he was awarded the German Prize for Monument Protection.
In an article for SZ-Magazin in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement 2020, Raether criticized that German crime series convey a one-sided positive image of police officers. He advocated portraying violence and racism more frequently in the police and announced that his detective novels would tell more about the “reality of life of the marginalized”. The conservative Focus columnist Jan Fleischhauer criticized the article with the argument that crime series would then teach viewers “to think, look and feel more like drug dealers and murderers”.
