A site in a German town earmarked for a children’s daycare center has been repurposed as a container village for migrants, leading to protests from locals enraged by the decision.
Around 150 residents of Kirchheim, Upper Bavaria, took to the streets at the weekend against the asylum accommodation that will comprise 32 two-story containers housing 192 asylum seekers.
The accommodation should be available for occupancy from mid-October.
Local authorities were taken aback by the response of residents when they were invited to conduct an on-site visit of the accommodation, planted in the heart of a new residential estate. The buildings will actually border the gardens of terraced houses.
“A daycare center was once planned here – now we have a refugee village,” resident Helga Bauer told Münchner Merkur.
“No one wants to have a facility like this in front of their house. We’re all afraid of the stabbers,” added Reinhard Bauer, another concerned local.

The daycare center initially planned for the site has been delayed indefinitely, with locals fully expecting the proposal to be scrapped in exchange for semi-permanent asylum accommodation.
Local politicians like District Administrator Christoph Göbel have promised that the buildings will only be occupied by Ukrainian refugee families until the end of 2026, but there is no guarantee on who will be the new neighbors after that date.
“We have a lot of refugees in Germany and in the Munich district. That’s a fact,” Göbel told the crowd. “It costs a huge amount of money, I don’t enjoy it, but I have to do it.

“We already said that we were reaching our limits. There are now 8,000 refugees and will have to make room for 2,000 more in 2025. We now have 266 properties in the district and urgently need more and new ones,” he added.
But the locals aren’t convinced that Ukrainians will be the sole occupants.
“I know for a fact that Syrians and Afghans will come,” said one attendee at the protest.
“Busloads of Syrians and Afghans are guaranteed to arrive,” shouted another. “There are a bunch of young men who are bored and don’t know what to do all day,” they added.

The move is the latest in a long list of German towns being inundated with new arrivals without their consent.
Just last week, protesters gathered at the district council building in Seeon, where they expressed their fury over plans to import 500 migrants, which would then make up more than 10 percent of the town’s population of 4,000.
