Initial state reception in Stendal will be more expensive. The taxpayers' association criticizes the planning.
The conversion of the former border troop barracks should be completed by the end of 2025 and will cost at least 56.8 million euros. There have also been unforeseen construction price increases since 2020 due to the corona crisis, the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis as well as delivery bottlenecks, tariff increases and a shortage of skilled workers. From May onwards, up to 600 people can be accommodated.
