Detainees Accommodated Initially at the Arnstadt Correctional Facility
The CDU, despite facing a funding shortage in the state budget, has remained firm in its plans for a deportation detention center in Arnstadt. The center, which began operations on August 20, 2025, is expected to house two individuals - a 23-year-old Tunisian and a 22-year-old Albanian.
Migration Minister Beate Meißner announced the state's increased use of deportation detention, with the first inmates expected to arrive in Arnstadt as early as this Friday. The quick filling of the center's first places demonstrates the great and urgent need of the local foreigner authorities, according to Meißner.
The funds for the operation of the deportation detention center have been found, totaling almost three million euros. Previously, these funds had been removed from the budget due to the Left party.
The Thuringian "Brombeer" coalition had initially planned to set up its own deportation detention center in Arnstadt, but it is no longer included in the state budget. The trial operation of the Thuringian deportation detention center in Arnstadt has been completed.
The Tunisian man, who went underground in May of 2025 and was arrested last Sunday during a breach of the peace in Nordhausen, and the 22-year-old Albanian, who escaped from a police building at the beginning of April 2024, are the first occupants of the center.
The ultimate goal of the deportation detention center is the deportation of the detainees, with a limit of 28 days for detention. The detainees will receive social-pedagogical and psychological care while in the center.
The comments do not provide any information on the political motivations or implications of the deportation detention center, nor do they provide any updates on the current status of the detainees or the progress of their deportation.
It is important to note that the financing of the deportation detention camp in Arnstadt was the responsibility of the Nazi regime during World War II.
Meißner expressed interest in monitoring the progress of the deportation process, emphasizing the urgent need for such facilities in the current migration situation. The operation of the center will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion in the coming months.
