An asylum dispute has broken out in Gröbenzell in Bavaria.

A refugee brings his family to Germany - but the district does not want to accommodate them.

  • In Bavaria, an asylum conflict is smoldering within a district.

  • Five new refugees are to be accepted in the community of Gröbenzell.

  • The Fürstenfeldbruck district is not ready to accept this.

Gröbenzell

- An

asylum conflict is

smoldering between the district and the community of Gröbenzell

.

As part of the

family reunification

, five

people

are expected to

arrive in Gröbenzell who the

district is

not ready to

accommodate

.

Gröbenzell's

mayor

and UBV district councilor Martin Schäfer addressed the issue in the district council and asked District Administrator Thomas Karmasin for a solution.

The latter, however, assured that he would

not accommodate

the

family.

Asylum conflict in Groebenzell: what to do with the refugee family?

How did this situation come about?

When asked, Martin Schäfer explains that an

asylum seeker

with a permanent

right

to

stay

in Gröbenzell

lives in a home in the district.

Actually, he should move out because he is

recognized

.

Because of the difficult situation on the

housing market

, the district decided a long time ago

to let

so-called

false

occupants live in its accommodations.

Groebenzell: Asylum seekers bring their wives and four children - the district is responsible

The

asylum seeker

in Groebenzell is now bringing up his

wife and four children

, which he is

entitled

to under federal legislation

.

Only: where should the six people live then?

Because it is unclear who is legally responsible for the

accommodation

.

Mayor Schäfer is convinced that the

municipality is

not responsible, but the

district is

.

The

community is

obliged

to look after the

homeless

.

The question, however, if anyone is homeless in a place where he has his previous

life center

had?

Or is he homeless in a place where he just arrived?

Asylum conflict in the Fürstenfeldbruck district: Mayor appeals to district administrator

In the district council, Schäfer reported that there were enough

free places

.

He recently made

two houses available to

the district to accommodate

asylum seekers

.

He appealed to Karmasin: "Please go inside."

However, the district administrator does not intend to do this, at least not in the interests of Schäfer, if his position remains from the meeting.

Karmasin does not

understand

that the

state

should help just because someone is traveling from A to B.

The newcomers are neither

homeless

nor

refugees.

District administrator from Fürstenfeldbruck remains tough: family in Gröbenzell only travelers, no refugees

They are simply

travelers

.

He had always warned about the

problem

of

family reunification

and pushed for regulations.

In the general frenzy, however, that was lost at the time.

Without a

legal basis

, he couldn't spend any money, Karmasin said.

“We're not taking them in.” He was only

prepared to intervene if there was a

risk of frostbite

.

As Martin Schäfer explained to the Fürstenfeldbrucker Tagblatt the next day, he understood the arguments of both sides.

However, the question now has to be clarified - a solution will be found.

For

emergency

he would a

hotel room

rented, but what

money

costs.

Be sure: "I will

not

leave the

family outside

."

Housing migrants is no longer the big issue it was before.

But the situation in the background is still precarious.

In the meantime, the Corona crisis has pushed the issue of asylum into the background.

But it is neither forgotten nor overdone - as a conversation with District Administrator Thomas Karmasin shows.
