Dresden City Hostel Transforms into Asylum Housing
In the heart of Dresden, a former city hostel at Lingnerallee 3 is being transformed into a transitional housing for asylum seekers. The city council made the decision to rent the building complex in Kansas back in March 2023, and the first phase of the renovation is now complete.
The asylum shelter is structurally and spatially separated from the administrative areas, providing a dedicated space for those seeking refuge. The initial capacity of the shelter is 140 people, with plans to expand to accommodate 280.
European Homecare GmbH, a nationwide operating company with experience in refugee social care, will run the hostel. A renewed fire alarm system and a laundry room have been installed in the first phase, ensuring the safety and comfort of the residents.
The first floor to the second floor is now ready for occupancy, with communal rooms to be set up and the fire alarm system and technical facilities to be renewed in the second phase. The second phase concerns the third and fourth floors, which are currently undergoing renovation.
Residents will be able to cater for themselves in the medium term with a communal kitchen and initial supply via a catering company. Gradually, floor kitchens will be added to provide more independence.
70 people from Venezuela, Afghanistan, and Syria are expected to move into the hostel next week. A security service will be present around the clock for the operation of the Kansas city hostel.
The city of Dresden has rented the building complex for ten years, and the city library on Lingnerallee will be managed by a new operator starting from the next weekend. The exact managing entity is not specified in the available search results.
An open afternoon is being held on September 6, 2023, for interested parties to visit the new transitional housing for asylum seekers and ask questions about the accommodation and care of refugees.
The relocation of the Ordnungsamt from 2025 will see areas of the foreigners' authority accommodated in the administrative areas at Lingnerallee 3. The city administration has acquired furniture for the asylum shelter for one euro from the former hotel operator and supplemented it with some beds, wardrobes, and refrigerators.
Dresden is expected to accommodate 2,200 assigned refugees by the end of the year, making a significant contribution to the refugee crisis. The city's commitment to providing a safe and supportive environment for those seeking refuge is evident in the renovation and operation of this new asylum shelter.
