Migration - State accommodation for refugees remains in place
The refugee accommodation on the territory of the former Rantzau-Kaserne in Boostedt (Segeberg district) will be retained - however, the number of places will be reduced from 2500 to 1250 in the medium term. A corresponding agreement were signed by Finance Minister Monika Heinold, Integration Minister Aminata Touré (both Greens), Justice Minister Kerstin von der Decken, Interior Minister Sabine Sütterlin-Waack and the Boostedt mayor Hartmut König (all CDU), as the Social Ministry in Kiel announced on Wednesday.
"Together, we have managed to continue providing a good and secure shelter for the refugees," said König. The structure of volunteer work in the community, which has grown over the years, can still be used. Therefore, the refugee accommodation will be retained beyond 2024. In addition, a part of the land will be purchased by the state, so that a new justice detention school building can be built there from 2027. Furthermore, the further development of the state disaster relief camp on the territory of the former barracks is planned.
