The city of Munich continues to look for new locations for refugee accommodation.
There are already four blocks of flats in the trade fair town of Riem.
In Solln, too, two properties are now being considered for accommodation.

A refugee accommodation is to be built in Solln, but where exactly has not yet been decided.
But local residents are resisting one of the locations and see it as a problem, especially for the refugees.
Munich/Solln – In the dispute over the planned refugee accommodation on the corner of Schultißstrasse and Sörgelstrasse in Solln, residents are drawing hope.
At the request of the city council faction made up of the FDP and the Bavarian Party, alternative proposals for accommodating refugees from Ukraine and other countries of origin are being reconsidered.
On Tuesday, March 5th, an on-site appointment to search for locations took place.
Planned refugee accommodation in Solln: residents are upset
Since the people of Solln were completely taken by surprise in October by the city of Munich's surprising announcement about the planned construction of a refugee accommodation, there has been massive resistance.
Tuesday morning, 8:30 a.m., the street corner, which is otherwise deserted at this time of day, was as busy as Stachus.
So busy that even the police showed up, suspecting an unannounced rally due to the crowds.
We are by no means against accepting refugees.
We try to find a good solution for people who have experienced bad things.
Jörg Hoffmann, FDP city council member Munich
“We actually only expected three residents, but it is probably an emotional concern for a lot of people,” said Fritz Roth (FDP).
After the situation had clarified and Roth and his party colleague Jörg Hoffmann had discussed the location there with the residents, they continued with a slight delay to the planned alternative location, the empty building of the Thomas-Mann-Gymnasium on Drygalski-Allee .
This time, however, in a small circle.
FDP city council rejects Schult Heißstrasse location
Hoffmann emphasized: “We and the residents are in no way against taking in refugees.
On the contrary, we are trying to find a good solution for people who have experienced bad things.” However, they reject the Schultheissstrasse location.
Too much outskirts of the city, a poor shopping situation, the lack of connections to public transport and the proximity to the Hubertus shooting club are problematic.

A nearby shooting club poses a risk of re-traumatization
Resident Ulrike Mosbach finds the local shooting club particularly difficult: “Did the city think nothing of it when choosing the location?
Two days a week we shoot for hours at 800 meters as the crow flies.
The shooting noise carries the risk that war refugees will be retraumatized.” The situation is different at the Thomas Mann High School, which is empty due to capacity reasons.
In addition, development and construction costs would be avoided there, as there are options for structural changes inside the building and container buildings outside.

“It is also very important to us that the refugees are well integrated,” says Fritz Roth.
“Up to now, communication with the social services department has been, let’s say, pretty casual.
It is clear that it is a complex matter, but we will continue the debate and find constructive solutions for everyone involved." A list of further location suggestions will be sent to the city council, and further site visits will follow after Easter.
