Free University of Berlin defends itself against container village projects
On the fallow unibles on Thielallee 63 in Berlin-Dahlem, the Senate plans to build a container village to accommodate 260 refugees. This encounters resistance, especially at the Free University, which had intended to build a building and research building. The university feels over and complained not to have been integrated into the Senate plans. Although the university is fundamentally ready to support refugees, she emphasizes that the site is urgently needed for its own construction projects from 2023 and alternative areas are scarce.
The university suggests using empty buildings of the Federal Real Estate Agency nearby as temporary accommodations. The special representative for refugee issues at the Senate, Broemme, is looking for free space and emphasizes the opportunity to accommodate refugees on the unused area of the university as long as it is unused. The planned construction of other container villages in various Berlin districts is part of the Senate decision from the end of March. The locations are selected in a targeted manner to expand the accommodation opportunities for refugees and to improve the Situation in emergency accommodation.
The planned establishment of a container village on the universe area in Steglitz-Zehlendorf ensures controversy, since resistance in elegant parts of the city often occurs against such projects. Critics, including Berlin's left-wing boss Franziska Brychcy, indicate the negative attitude of the Free University and call for the temporary use of the parking space for the accommodation of refugees.
