Winnenden defends itself: No refugee accommodation in the Hotel Le Village!

The Rems-Murr district office recently announced plans to rent the Hotel Le Village as refugee accommodation. This decision caused a stir in the town of Winnenden. The city administration has spoken out clearly against these plans and points to the declining number of refugees. This is supported by the occupancy figures in the Rems-Murr district, which show no urgent need for new refugee accommodation in the municipality.

The city administration therefore sees no need to apply for an exemption for the hotel. According to the responsible authorities, such a regulation is “probably” not necessary. This could mean that the district office's plans could face resistance if the city administration pursues its arguments further.

Reaction of the city administration

The Winnenden city administration emphasizes that the current decline in the number of refugees justifies a reassessment of the accommodation situation. The argument is based on the existing occupancy figures for the Rems-Murr district, which show that there is currently sufficient capacity to accommodate refugees who are already present.

This position is further supported by the fact that there is no need to increase accommodation. It remains to be seen whether the district office will respond to the city administration's concerns and, if necessary, adjust its plans.

Overview of refugee accommodation in the Rems-Murr district

The situation in the Rems-Murr district with regard to the accommodation of refugees is continuously monitored and analyzed by the responsible authority. When looking after refugees and migrants, emphasis is placed on aspects such as the quality of accommodation. The data collected on the use of the accommodations offered is crucial for optimal planning and eventualities can be identified quickly.

Information about the accommodation guidelines and data protection aspects of the registration and management of refugee accommodation can be viewed on the Rems-Murr-Kreis website. Data protection indicators are also taken into account here, which is important in order to meet legal requirements. For a more comprehensive understanding of the issue, the state government website can be accessed to find out more about existing guidelines and support offers.

It currently remains to be seen how the discussion about the Hotel Le Village will continue and whether the city administration will be able to assert its arguments against the district office's plans.
