Germany: City of Hamburg wants to house 100 refugees in senior citizens’ home, together with the senior citizens

Do German politicians think that not enough of their elderly citizens are dying?

In view of rising figures of refugees and a growing need for space due to the Corona pandemic, the city of Hamburg wants to accommodate about 100 refugees in a senior citizens’ home.
A wing of the German Red Cross nursing home in Eichenhöhe in the district of Eißendorf is currently vacant, the interior authorities wrote to the district office of Harburg. In the short term, 108 places in 38 rooms could be provided there, the newspaper “Abendblatt” reported.

The German Red Cross, which also runs the senior citizens’ home, is to take care of the asylum seekers. The accommodation should be ready for use by January the 15th.
The social affairs board of the Harburg district assembly will discuss the project on January the 10th.
