Fight for space: Miesbach is desperate for refugee accommodation!

In the Miesbach district, the situation regarding the accommodation of refugees continues to deteriorate. The Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior has asked the districts to provide up to 1,000 emergency accommodations for the upcoming winter, which is causing concern among the district administration. There are currently 2,244 refugees accommodated in the region, including 1,067 asylum seekers and 1,177 Ukrainians. In view of the lack of accommodation, District Administrator Olaf von Löwis sees the need to urgently find solutions and warns of the danger that the problem will only be postponed without active action Merkur.de reported.

Disputes over accommodation spark protests

Protests against the planned refugee accommodation in Marienstein highlight the tensions in the Waakirchen community. One proposal suggested using gymnasiums as emergency shelters. However, gymnasiums in Tegernsee were recently released, while there are still no structural solutions in sight for other halls at the high school and vocational school in Miesbach. This uncertainty means that the district office is forced to build larger accommodation, such as in Moarhölzl and Marienstein, in order to meet the increasing demand.

The local council's refusal to use the former vaccination center in Hausham as an initial reception facility has further complicated the situation. This means that the existing accommodation options cannot be vacated in a timely manner. The final resort to flexible-use sports halls should not result in a repetition of the previous emergency measures. The district office therefore emphasizes the urgent need for alternative solutions that meet both legal and human requirements, including in a report by bayernportal.de.
