Pankow builds 1400 new places: Rescue for refugees in sight!

Pflasterweg, Berlin, Deutschland - Berlin in a state of emergency! In Pankow, one of the most lively districts in the capital, the excavators will soon roll up to make room for not only one but five new refugee accommodation. Wow! According to a report by the Berliner Zeitung arise. This is more than the population of some little villages! The planned accommodations should be set up both temporarily and permanently in order to cover the increasing need.

One of these key locations is located on the paving path in Blankenburg. As the name suggests, a lot is paved there, but only from the second quarter of 2025. Up to 500 refugees should find a temporary home here. The operator - still unknown. However, the Howoge, Berlin's largest municipal housing association, already has the ownership certificates in their pocket.

plans and challenges

The former slaughterhouse in Prenzlauer Berg - originally planned a chic hotel - is being rebuilt. Now container accommodations for 400 refugees are to be created here. The construction start: Also 2025. Everything has to be finished by 2026! Until then, the construction of a temporary system in the Elisabeth-Aue in Blankenfelde is also on the plan, which should offer up to 500 people.

But not everything runs smoothly in the capital. The accommodation on Kavalierstraße is struggling with delays, among other things, for species protection regulations and the protests of the residents. Another in Berliner Strasse is currently still in the examination phase. A tough struggle through the jungle of bureaucracy, in which the Senate does not take a backlog.

integration and support

The school calls! Since around 20 percent of the refugees are subject to school, welcome classes are also set up at the locations. The close cooperation with voluntary initiatives promises to a smooth integration into Berlin's life. But this is not without price - so the district office Pankow demands financial support from the Senate. Each cent counts to manage the challenges of integration.

Ultimately, it's about more than just numbers and places. It's about people and their stories. And while political decisions often seem like in a juggernach, it is steps like this that give hope. MSN reports that despite resistances, the projects are considered urgent to enable refugees to make a decent life in Berlin. Plagued district? Yes. Will to act? Absolutely!
