Headline: Residents of Gorbitz in Dresden Concerned Over Planned Asylum Seeker Accommodations

In the heart of Dresden, a city known for its vibrant districts of Alt- and Neugorbitz, a citizens' initiative has been circulating a petition against planned asylum seeker accommodations in specific locations. The proposed sites are Uthmannstraße 26/28 and Kesselsdorfer Straße/Altgorbitzer Ring in Gorbitz.

The petition, which has garnered a significant response from local residents, voices concerns about infrastructure, integration capacity, and neighborhood safety. The residents fear social tensions in the already overburdened district, and the petition demands the prevention of the establishment of temporary and permanent refugee accommodations at the aforementioned locations.

The city of Dresden, acknowledging the residents' apprehensions, has emphasized its commitment to fair distribution of accommodations across the city area. The city administration is currently searching for suitable areas for asylum seeker accommodations, and the proposed sites in Gorbitz are part of this broader initiative.

The city officials have also assured residents that measures will be in place to ensure proper integration, community support programs, and increased security to address concerns. However, the citizens' initiative has expressed its desire for the district to remain successful, well-maintained, lively, and revitalized, with a few exceptions.
