Support for refugees: Citizens in Schwabsoien set up an asylum helper group. “Nothing negative” has happened since the first refugees arrived, says the mayor.

There are now around 20 citizens in the district who, for example, get medicine for the refugees or take care of registering them with the sports club. In general, it became apparent that the new villagers were motivated and would like to work around all day, says Silke Schmid, the mayor's wife. The new “Kirschbichlers” are grateful.
