From warehouse for refuge: new asylum accommodation opened in Dachau!

Kufsteiner Straße 12, Dachau, Deutschland - something big has done in Dachau! A new asylum accommodation has now been opened on a historic area at Kufsteiner Straße 12, where there was once a Nazi passage camp. One could almost think that the story repeats themselves, but this time with a gratifying purpose: people in need offer refuge. As early as 1942, the Nazis collected forced laborers at this place, and in the years after the war, homeless people found a roof over their heads. Now, after many years of planning, the new project was set up.

The construction project comprises four houses that offer space for a total of 186 people. The facility may seem sparse with its white walls and simple furniture, but District Administrator Stefan Löwl (CSU) emphasizes the more emphasized independence and integration, which is promoted here. This is done on a relatively high standard of living in moderate costs. In the four houses, each with three bedrooms per apartment, people with housing shortages, also German citizens, also find a new place to stay. The settlement was created as an alternative to container residential complexes and gyms and is supposed to bring a better attitude to life.

place full of history and meaning

The past of the property makes the opening something very special, as President Konrad Schober emphasizes. Here, where there was once suffering and despair, the current state shows values ​​of compassion and openness that create a new home for many on this ground. The construction was not without corners and edges: the financing is carried out by the construction company, which the model has already successfully established in other places such as Schwabhausen and Erdweg. The apartments are rented inexpensively, but there are no amenities such as an internet connection. according to the southern German newspaper the few criticisms of the execution.

The ceremonial inauguration took place with an interreligious prayer, in which both Christian and Muslim spiritual participation. They blessed the new place to stay with suras, Bible passages and holy water - a real shoulder of the religions in a modern world! This not only sets Dachau a sign of new beginning, but also a new chapter is written to humanity. Already in January the first residents are to move in to finally find a new home after annoying delays and discussions.

important steps into the future

The stunning construction costs of 2500 euros per square meter led to a project in the region that remains unprecedented, which still remains without an internet connection, which Radio Top FM reported. Despite this deficit, the new accommodation creates a space that helps the residents to take the first step into a safe future. As the Protestant pastor Gerhard Last emphasized at the inauguration, this is about the cooperation: "It's about people!" And that is probably the most important message that comes from this historical place.
