Great willingness: In the Vitalwelt, Mayor Franz Schnitzenbaumer welcomed just over 40 volunteers who want to help integrate the refugees in Schliersee.

Everyone feels unsafe in the situation: those who live here and those who come here.

The information evening on Monday to establish a new asylum helper group in Schliersee was constructive and relaxed.

Just over 40 interested citizens came to Vitalwelt, and almost as many expressed their desire to get involved by entering a list of helpers from Integration Officer Sabine Baresel.

Schliersee – Mayor Franz Schnitzenbaumer was very relieved at the end of the one and a half hour information event and extremely grateful to the people of Schliersee for the positive, constructive and goal-oriented course of the evening.

In advance, the town hall boss said he had received a number of nasty emails and also experienced hostility.

Not everyone from Schliersee is enthusiastic about the idea of ​​setting up asylum accommodation in the former administration building of the Warnecke & Böhm company.

One of them also came to Vitalwelt on Monday to discuss asylum policy, but Schnitzenbaumer explained the aim of the evening: “We don't do politics here and we don't discuss what's going on in Germany and the world .”

Tense situation

Before the town hall boss left the field to volunteer coordinator Lisa Richters from Miesbach and the integration officer Sabine Baresel and her fellow campaigner Angela Mai, he briefly summarized the situation in the district: “Every two weeks a bus with around 50 refugees comes to the district to accommodate the people must.

Its sports halls in Tegernsee and Miesbach are at capacity with 245 and 280 asylum seekers and refugees.

The situation is also so tense because clubs and school sports are missing these gyms.”

There is great discontent in Warngau, where a container village for 500 asylum seekers is to be built (we reported).

“For us in Schliersee, there was no question that we would help together and fulfill our task,” stated Schnitzenbaumer, with a cross-reference to Hausham, where a facility for asylum seekers was rejected (we reported).

“Good accommodation”

The former administration building, which was upgraded, converted and furnished for fire protection, is now ready for occupancy.

“It is very good accommodation for asylum seekers and is manageable,” says Schnitzenbaumer.

The first 44 residents have been announced for March.

The community assumes that some of the families who are currently accommodated in the gymnasiums will then come to Westerbergstrasse.

Volunteer coordinator Lisa Richters described the type of help that the Schlierseers could provide - for example, helping families register their children in school or getting these children a used school bag.

With a 22-minute walk to the train station, mobility is certainly an issue that used bicycles could help solve.

Using all sorts of examples from asylum helper groups in other district municipalities, Richters advised the helper group to have a structure - either through individual working groups or through sponsorship of just one family at a time.

Regarding training in individual subject areas, she pointed out the district's training formats from March and gave a brief update on the current regulations regarding payment cards and basic medical care.

Baresel and Mai want to focus primarily on communication.

The volunteers should get involved to the extent that they can and want to – and also with the topics that interest them.

They were asked to put themselves on a list including the area in which they would like to help.

There should not only be another meeting of helpers before the asylum seekers arrive, but also on a regular basis.

Baresel also wants to send information emails about upcoming tasks on a regular basis.

The Ukraine Helpers Group was repeatedly praised and held up as a shining example.

This and the course of the evening led Schnitzenbaumer to conclude at the end: “The reception of refugees and asylum seekers does not always have to be negative.”
