There are currently around 3,000 refugees living in the district.
Accommodation is needed for the new arrivals.
The Tölz district office speaks of “constructive discussions with the mayors”.
Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen – The break after the hailstorm is over.
After no asylum seekers were assigned to the district for four months last year, a bus with around 50 refugees is now arriving every two weeks.
There are currently 3,139 refugees living in accommodation in the district.
The first point of contact for new arrivals are the two initial reception centers in the gymnasiums in Geretsried and Wolfratshausen.
From there it is distributed to the municipalities.
“The pressure to accommodate people is still there and increases with every allocation by the government of Upper Bavaria,” said Marlis Peischer, press spokeswoman for the district office, when asked.
“At the same time, the question arises as to where this should happen.
Overall, there are constructive discussions with the mayors.”
As of February 8, 3,139 refugees were living in accommodation in the district - including 162 Afghan local workers who live in the transitional home in Geretsried and 961 asylum seekers.
The 469 people entitled to stay would actually have to move out of the accommodation.
But they can't do that because they can't find an apartment.
Only 4 of the 21 municipalities meet the accommodation quota: the three cities and the municipality of Kochel am See.

Even after the asylum ruling, discussions are ongoing with the communities
This also applies after the court ruling.
As reported, the Munich Administrative Court issued an emergency decision in January temporarily prohibiting the district office from assigning asylum seekers to the municipality of Greiling for reception and accommodation and from obliging the municipality to provide appropriate accommodation.
The district office had previously announced that it would distribute refugees to municipalities that did not meet the accommodation quota - regardless of whether the municipalities had created space by then or not.
The court found that this constituted an unlawful interference with the municipality's right to self-government.
However, the municipalities certainly have a duty to cooperate in the reception and accommodation, the court continued.
The district office does not take legal action against the emergency decision
And the mayors also fulfill this obligation – with more or less enthusiasm.
We are in discussions with everyone, says Peischer.
This also applies to the mayor of Greiling and his colleague from Dietramszell.
The latter had also filed a lawsuit.
However, this is to be withdrawn after the district administration's assurance that it will not assign any refugees to the community until the former eco-academy in Linden is ready for occupancy.
“It is in the nature of things that people here do not necessarily always agree on the creation of accommodation, but ultimately we are all faced with the same situation,” says Peischer.
Incidentally, the district office has not lodged any appeal against the emergency decision.
There is not yet a date for the main hearing in which the Greilinger lawsuit will be finally decided.

1000 places are currently being planned
Around 1,000 places are currently being planned throughout the district.
“It certainly remains to be seen when these can actually be implemented – for example because of lawsuits – but the number alone shows that neither municipalities nor district administration are behaving passively, quite the opposite.
These places are only in prospect because there is cooperation between the actors,” explains Peischer.

The building permit was most recently granted (as of February 8th) for the container accommodation on Scharfreiterstrasse in Lenggries.
Construction is underway there.
Around 100 places are to be created.
Accommodation at Münsinger Schlichtfeld with 94 places is also approved.
According to the district office, a lawsuit is pending here.
Against the declared wishes of the city of Bad Tölz, the change of use for the former “Lindenhof” was also approved.
If there is nothing against this in terms of building law, the district building authority has no choice but to grant approval.
In fact, the former hotel had probably been used as accommodation for a long time.
However, the city opposed the official change of use - also in view of the fact that Bad Tölz significantly exceeds the accommodation quota.
56 places can be occupied there.
Accommodation on Isarleitenweg: Approval is currently being examined
“We have been annoyed about the Lindenhof for long enough,” says Tölz Mayor Ingo Mehner when asked.
“Our main focus at the moment is on the Isarleitenweg and the lightweight construction hall at Prof.-Max-Lange-Platz.
The problem is simply that Bad Tölz is burdened with the allocation of refugees far above average.” The lightweight hall with its 128 places has been occupied since last summer.
A shared accommodation with 96 beds is to be built on Isarleitenweg.
Their approval is currently being examined by the district office.
