Where refugees from Ukraine can find help
By Brigitte Gisel People from Ukraine who flee from the war in their homeland to Germany receive accommodation, food and medical care here.

But registration with the municipality is a prerequisite for applying for social benefits. The application is then forwarded to the foreigners authority. Except for the cities of Tübingen and… Read More

At least 17 wars in Europe since 1945

As a precaution, the district, cities and municipalities are, therefore, calling in a press release to report vacant living space that the district can rent for the… Read More
