Accommodation for the homeless in Niendorf, a planned refugee home in Flottbek, Increase for accommodation also in Niendorf: Three problems in the city that are met with resistance by mostly wealthy residents. They fear for their safety, for structural changes in the community and for their property values. This is not only ignorant, it makes me angry.
According to estimates by the tenants’ association, there is a shortage of around 50,000 apartments in Hamburg. Refugees come to the city every day and seek protection. The situation at the main train station is dire, people are in urgent need of offers of help. Free places to create emergency accommodation to provide relief in some way are being sought after. But as soon as it comes to involve the wealthier parts of the city in solving the problem, there are big protests and threats of lawsuits.
They are already setting up their lawyers in Flottbek
When it became public that a small number of drinkers were being looked after from the main railway station in Niendorf in the future, one complained Mother at an event, she used to cry herself to sleep every night worried about her children. Others were concerned about a decline in the value of their properties.
In Flottbek, residents are already setting up their lawyers and the FDP would like to move the planned refugee accommodation in the parking lot of the Loki Schmidt Garden to the other side of Osdorfer Landstrasse. in Iserbrook. Not only is this an advantage that the refugees are a little further away from the owners of the village, but also that the children are assigned to other schools. And we are talking about giving a place to a little more than 120 refugees. For comparison: the buildings at Vogelhüttendeich in Wilhelmsburg alone have more than 500 places. In any case, there is more accommodation in Wilhelmsburg than in the suburbs of Elbe combined. If for some reason you don’t count Bahrenfeld…

In a democracy, contradiction is necessary, of course. But this is not about preventing politicians from making a serious mistake, but only about egoism. What those who complain no longer see is that the decisions being made now are about human dignity and the common good. There is this verse that shows the feelings that appear during the protests: “Holy St. Florian, save my house, set fire to others!”
In Niendorf they tied red scarves to their single-family garden fences as a sign of protest. You want to shout at them: Please bring FDP yellow. At least that would be honest!
Notice: In an earlier version of the text we wrote that there is no single accommodation for refugees in the suburbs of Elbe. This is wrong. In Othmarschen there is one on Holmbrook Street.
