Rödelheim in the turmoil: New refugee accommodation provides protests!

Stand: October 31, 2024 5:07 pm

in Frankfurt-Rödelheim the mood is bubbling! A new accommodation for hundreds of refugees and homeless should be created, and that of all people in a street in which there is already a large accommodation! Residents are outraged and feel disadvantaged. "Why here?", Many are wondering while the construction work is in full swing and the street "In der Au" is closed to traffic. The residents only find out from the plans and complain about a catastrophic communication of the authorities.

The citizens' question lesson in the local advisory board was as well attended as it was rarely before; More than a hundred people crowded into the hall of the Christ king community. The discussion about the new accommodation, which is to be completed by the end of 2025, will be conducted heated. Critics warn of a one -sided burden on the district, which already has five accommodations with a total of 710 seats. "What about the other parts of the city?", Someone calls the audience and hits the nerve of many residents.

criticize a lack of communication

The city of Frankfurt has the challenge of integrating 33 new refugees every week and urgently needs space for this. But the decision to build two large facilities on the same street causes displeasure. A city representative explains that the city was forced to use this opportunity due to the geopolitical situation and the Ukraine War. "We had to take every opportunity," she emphasizes. But the residents are frustrated: "There has been no communication," complains a resident while the construction cranes are enthroned over their heads.

The discussion about the distribution of refugee accommodation is shaped by right-wing populist comments and solidarity. While some criticize the accommodation, others demand a fair distribution to make integration easier for the refugees. The heated debate shows that the minds are heated, and the question of the fair distribution of refugees remains a hot iron in Rödelheim!
