The immigration of refugees to the district has continued to increase.

The district office distributes the refugees to the 29 municipalities - but they are burdened unequally.

District –

The number of refugees arriving in the district of Munich is increasing again.

This was announced by the district office.

Refugees of different nationalities have already arrived in the past few weeks, and the district office is expecting further allocations.

The reason: the so-called anchor centers of the government of Upper Bavaria are overcrowded.

120 to 130 refugees in the arrival center in Munich every day

These are reception facilities for asylum seekers;

Every day, 120 to 130 refugees arrive at the arrival center in Munich, and according to the district administration, space must be made for them.

In addition, a continued inflow from the Ukraine is expected.

The number of refugees depends on the further course of the war and the weather in Ukraine.

More than 8,300 refugees are currently living in the district

More than 8,300 refugees are currently living in the district.

Measured against the number of inhabitants, this accounts for around two percent.

However, the burden is perceived differently in the individual communities: accommodation must be organized and places in schools and kindergartens must be created.

Over 4,500 Ukrainian refugees in the district - more than 1,250 of them in state accommodation

According to the district office, more than 4,500 Ukrainian refugees live in the district - more than 1,250 of them in state accommodation.

In addition, there are 2,770 refugees from other countries of origin and around 1,000 "false providers".

These are recognized asylum seekers and people with the right to stay who should actually leave state accommodation but cannot find their own place to stay on the free housing market.

Refugees are distributed differently to the municipalities.

A look at the table reveals: Refugees are distributed differently among the municipalities.

A particularly large number of refugees are accommodated in the heavily populated towns of Unterschleißheim and Unterhaching, while fewer in Aying, Brunnthal or Baierbrunn.

Further container facilities in Unterhaching and Neubiberg

Planned container facilities for refugees will further aggravate the situation: in Unterhaching, for example, 260 more accommodation places are to be created.

In Neubiberg, containers with a capacity of 430 places have been set up in the landscape park;

compared to other communities, only a few refugees have been housed here.

Not to be forgotten are people who are accommodated privately, they are free to decide where they want to live.

Availability of accommodation places, apartments and land crucial for distribution

But according to what criteria does the district office distribute the refugees to the municipalities?

By population?

After economic power?

In fact, it is about the supply of apartments;

the availability of accommodation places, apartments and land plays the essential role.

Refugees should actually be assigned “as far as possible according to the capacity of the respective cities and communities across the entire district”, the district office announced.

But the housing market is too tight for this distribution method.

, Ismaning's mayor Alexander Greulich called for "solidarity compensation" in the district committee

Some municipalities are not happy about this. Ismaning's mayor Alexander Greulich (SPD), for example, called for a "solidarity compensation" in the district committee as early as September.

The services in the individual communities would be very different, he said.

Mayor Greulich is right about that, as the numbers on accommodation show.

In an earlier meeting, party colleague and Garching's mayor Dietmar Gruchmann had also insisted on a fair approach to the distribution of tasks.

Support at least with childcare

In September, the district councils decided that the district should at least support the “strong accommodation” communities and cities with childcare.

It remains to be seen whether the mayor and residents will be satisfied with this, even given the increasing number of refugees.
