New auxiliary center at the main train station: City is fighting drug problems!

Repsoldstraße 27, 20099 Hamburg, Deutschland - The city of Hamburg has a new chapter in the fight against drug addiction! A former office building on Repsoldstrasse is being converted around the main train station, where homeless and drug addicts are particularly visible. The starting signal for the renovation work is given in December 2024. Here, a central point of contact for drug addicts is to be created, which will offer urgently needed help and support.

Although there is still a comprehensive concept for the six -story building, it is clear: in spring 2025 the first emergency sleeping places should be available. Repsoldstraße 27 will not only be a place of refuge, but also a center for various offers of help. Psychiatric and medical outpatient clinics, advice centers from the job center, a clothing store and washrooms are planned. The social authority has major plans to make all the necessary contact points accessible to those affected in one place.

a place of hope and support

The redesign of the drug advice center should also have a de -escalating effect. The city hopes that the new offers will help to improve the Situation at the main train station. While the teams in their red jackets have been active for weeks and have provided around 1,000 times help, the new facility will play an important role in the city's social structure. However, there will be no drinking room for alcohol consumption, which underlines the clear focus on drug help.

The exact planning is coordinated in cooperation with residents and other offers in the area to ensure that the needs of those affected are met as best as possible. Hamburg sets a strong sign in dealing with drug addiction and shows that help and support come first!
