Pankow in the refugee storm: How the district is overwhelmed!

Prenzlauer Berg, Deutschland - Berlin's Pankow remains the absolute hotspot for refugees in the capital! According to a report of the Berliner Kuriers currently houses 18 accommodations with a total of 6140 places, which is more than in any other district Berlin. And it comes even thicker: In the coming years, the opening of at least five other accommodations with over 2100 additional places is planned. This could increase the capacity to over 8,000 places - an increase of more than 30%! This situation is currently causing great stress and resentment in politics.

In particular, the Prenzlauer Berg region is hit hard by the high number of accommodations, while districts such as Reinickendorf are only minimally affected. The district council requires a fairer distribution of the refugees to the Berlin districts in order not to be excessively burdened by the domestic infrastructure. The critical situation on Storkower Straße, where more and more refugees are concentrating, is particularly the focus of the political discussion. Mayor Cordelia Koch and other politicians warn of overload and demand solutions.
