Making a difference - The accommodation of refugees in Leipzig and Osnabrück

Abstract: The East-German city Leipzig and the West-German city Osnabrück, the main locations of our research, are among the pioneers of a nationwide movement for the decentralisation of refugee accommodation. At the beginning of the 2010s, local authorities in the two cities decided against housing refugees in mass accommodation centres, instead choosing to support them in leading self-determined lives by facilitating their access to private housing. However, the two cities then responded very differently to the increa… Show more

“…This may have reduced the pressure on the town in such a way that it was able to develop alternative housing schemes, as one of my interlocutors suggested. Indeed, Hinger and Schäfer (2019) pointed to a similar tendency to move towards decentralised housing schemes in other cities across Germany in the early 2010s.

Hinger and Schäfer (2019) identifi ed cities' migration history and scalar positioning as relevant features in their comparative analysis of two German cities. Furthermore, their fi ndings clearly show that implicit structures in urban societies are linked to accommodation practices.…”

“…Im Ergebnis unterscheiden sich Sammelunterbringungen er-heblich voneinander. Allein schon das deutsche Unterbringungssystem ist in seiner landespolitischen Differenzierung und den weiteren kommunalen Verzweigungen sehr heterogen (Blank 2019b;El-Kayed/Hamann 2018;Hinger/Schäfer 2019;Hinger/Schäfer/Pott 2016;Pieper 2008: 340-341;Vey 2019). Dies gilt umso mehr in vergleichender, europäischer Perspektive (AIDA 2019;EMN 2014).…”
