Lörrach's natural oasis is said to give way to asylum accommodation: residents outraged!

Lörrach, Deutschland - Welcome to Lörrach, an idyllic city in beautiful Baden-Württemberg, where the waves are currently upset! What happened? The quiet garden meadow, a green retreat with fruit trees and free -running donkeys for decades, is the focus of a heated dispute. The city plans to build accommodation for asylum seekers on this relaxing stain.

The excitement is great! Especially in Stetten, the largest district of Lörrach, it rumbles tremendously. A citizens' initiative has formed to prevent the construction with enthusiasm. Citizens speak of a robbery of nature, of a broken promise of the city administration, to maintain the rest zone. And now, Schwupps, §246 of the Building Code comes into play, which allows temporary buildings to be built on actually unobstructed areas. Of course, this ensures conversation!

The fears of the locals

"If you put 150 young men together, bad things will happen," a resident fears openly. This statement is, as the saying, is not out of air. Many fear conflicts of use - on the playground and the football field. After all, a fenced area with security staff is to be built in the middle of the residential area, which causes some parents to be excited. Especially those whose children still play outside unattended in the evening.

There are also calming voices. Official statistics state that only a small minority of the asylum seekers living in the district stand out. But statistics do not always help when fears are involved. Some families believe: "If there is only something once, it's too late." Understandably, some of them even consider the escape from their own neighborhood.

integration with obstacles?

How the accommodation can be designed for asylum seekers in the best possible way has been a sensitive topic for decades. In theory, integration is the magic word: the asylum seekers should not be isolated, but should participate in social life. But practice often lags behind. After all, containers with fences and security guards do not exactly send rosy welcome signals. The discussion about the security problem remains a constant companion, even if there are positive examples in other parts of the city, such as in Lörrach-Haagen. Here the asylum seekers live in homely modules without a fence. An idyllic solution that cannot be implemented everywhere.

and while the political debate about decentralization and the avoidance of mass accommodation continues, the question remains whether the citizens' initiative will be successful in Stetten. The state parliament has not yet decided on the petition submitted. In the midst of this heated mood, other dubious machinations in the south throw further shadows: the RRREDACTION illuminates shady processes around the Sparkasse and certain public personalities and shows that the waves also make up on other important topics.

whether in large or on a small scale: the bear is in Lörrach. Even if the decision -making processes are running, the situation remains as unpredictable as an upcoming summer thunderstorm. The city faces a tightrope walk between integration efforts and the fears of the citizens - outcome uncertain.
