Searching for a location for a refugee shelter in the Altenburger Land - Altenburger Land seeks new asylum shelter for 220 people with realtors' help

Authorities in the Altenburger Land district have begun searching for a new site to house an asylum shelter. The facility, planned to accommodate up to 220 people, is being managed by realtors who are now reaching out to potential partners to secure a suitable location and manage its daily operations.

The district has called on property owners and operators to come forward with proposals. Those with available buildings that could be converted into a shelter are being asked to submit details. Even operators without a ready-made property are encouraged to get in touch if they can assist in running the facility.

The move comes as no new asylum shelters have opened in the surrounding Altenburg area over the past year. District officials have not provided further reasons for the previous lack of facilities but are now actively pursuing this project with realtors.

The shelter, managed by realtors, will provide housing for 220 individuals once operational. Interested parties have been invited to contact the district administration with offers of support. The next steps will depend on the availability of suitable properties and operational partners.
