Ukrainian refugee family in Neubiberg: unreasonable conditions!

in Neubiberg, a district in Munich area, the situation in a container refugee accommodation becomes increasingly alarming. Two Ukrainians, a 68-year-old mother and her 48-year-old daughter, report on unbearable living conditions that she feels "unreasonable". The two have to live on only 15 square meters, which makes everyday life a real challenge. The mattress that you use here was classified by the daughter as harmful to her mother with hip problems. For women, the stay in the communal kitchen, in which they should actually come together for social contacts and meals together, are hard to endure. She drives fear of insults and assault attacks to eat in her little room.

such as [Merkur] (https://www.merkur.de/lokales/muenchen-lk/neubiberg-ort29121/ein-altraum-ukrainerinnen-belfache-in-fluechtlings- 93779905.html), the atmosphere is also tense with other inhabitants. An older couple from Ukraine in particular cause unrest by perceiving it as aggressive. Investigations by the criminal police due to insults and attempted bodily harm have already been initiated. However, the head of the local police inspection makes it clear that the situation is considered "extremely quiet", although friction between people from different cultures are not unusual.

The struggle for a better life

The two women who have been on the waiting list for a social housing since 2023 have the urgency level 2. Your daughter has a medical certificate that confirms that your mother urgently needs her own living unit due to her health problems. The waiting times for an urgency level 1 have been up to seven years, level 2 is even darker. The women not only documented their escape history, which began in Sjewjerodonezk in 2022, but also wrote a letter of complaint to the EU Parliament and made an appointment in the district office in order to draw attention to their situation. A recovery of the problematic neighboring couple could apply in the near future, which could bring some hope.

"It is important that the integration of the refugees is better designed," says MEVENTA. Community accommodations are not just accommodation; You should also be places that make living together easier. The design of these accommodations plays an important role in integration. Unfortunately, the reality often does not reach the ideals. Community rooms in which interaction could be promoted, there is hardly any accommodation in the Neubiberg accommodation, which only increases the challenges. Many residents struggle to integrate into society and have no choice but to live in these facilities, since most of them are not entitled to their own apartment, such as the [Federal Center for Political Education] (https://www.bpb.de/themen/migration-integation/kurzdossiers/243947/wohnst-du-schon- or---Noch---------------noch-) determined.

The challenges of accommodation

The conditions in such shared accommodation are perceived by many as bad and little privacy. Mass accommodations and provisional institutions have worsened the living situation of refugees significantly since 2015. In addition, there are reports of racist attacks on these accommodations, which the topic continues to complicate. Although refugees with recognized asylum are no longer forced to live in shared accommodation, search for accommodation in cities like Munich remains an almost unsolvable problem for many.

Support through civil society initiatives to improve the living situation has increased in recent months, since numerous projects deal with the creation of living space and the improvement of the living conditions of refugees. The need for social housing is considered urgent in order not only to cope with the challenges of the current residents in Neubiberg, but also those of the many other affected refugees in Germany
