Migration - Hotel in Bernkastel-Kues can be used as asylum accommodation again

The former Hotel Moselpark in Bernkastel-Kues will be used again as accommodation for asylum applicants starting July 1st. The facility, which underwent renovations, will initially house around 50 people, as the competent supervisory and service direction (ADD) Trier announced on a Wednesday. Long-term, it is planned to accommodate up to maximally 450 people. The Hotel is an annex of the reception center for asylum seekers (AfA) in Hermeskeil (District Trier-Saarburg). Since the end of March, the accommodation has not been used.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, there are currently AfAs in Trier, Speyer, Kusel and Hermeskeil. In addition, there is a property at Hahn Airport and a hotel in Bitburg as annexes. The AfA Bitburg was temporarily closed due to fire safety reasons in mid-May.

1. Asylum seekers in Rhineland-Palatinate will now have additional accommodation in the Hotel Moselpark, Trier, following its reopening on July 1st after renovations, with initial capacity for 50 people, and plans to house up to 450 people long-term.
2. Meanwhile, the accommodation in Bitburg, another asylum facility in Rhineland-Palatinate, remains temporarily closed due to fire safety concerns, just as the AfA in Speyer, Kusel, Trier, and Hermeskeil continue to offer asylum accommodation.
3. Apart from these main reception centers, there are also asylum properties located at Hahn Airport and a hotel in Bitburg (when operational) serving as annexes, further aiding in attendance to the migration needs in the region.
