Lüneburg: Enough space for refugees - city administration trumps!

Lüneburg, Deutschland - The city of Lüneburg presents itself as well positioned in the accommodation of refugees. According to the city treasurer Matthias Rink, there will be sufficient capacities for the coming years, which excludes the need for another new building. There are currently 1362 places available in the Hanseatic city, spread over a total of eleven locations and the Illmenucenter, which offers 304 places. 147 are currently occupied by these places, with care to take into account family conditions of the residents. This system ensures that not all theoretically free places can actually be filled, such as the Landeszeitung reported.

But not only in Lüneburg, the topic of accommodating refugee people is intensively discussed. In North Rhine-Westphalia there are various approaches to improve situations in central accommodations (ZUE). These institutions are intended to offer language courses, educational offers and leisure activities close to school. A reform is necessary because in many places there are protests against overcrowded accommodations and inadequate care for the residents. For example, the city of Soest criticized the fact that the high number of refugee people has a negative impact on the cityscape and the crime has increased, as WDR reported.

plans for future accommodation

In order to meet the challenges, the North Rhine-Westphalian state government has announced that it will increase capacity in the existing zue to a total of 34,000 places, despite the frequent complaints about overcrowdings. A solution proposal is to create smaller accommodations in order to better meet the needs of the refugees. In Gladbeck, this is already tackled in concrete terms - the city plans to search for decentralized solutions together with the state and the district government. The Situation remains tense, and while the container schools are being built in Lüneburg, the pressure in other regions remains noticeable.
