Aufnahmeeinrichtung für Asylbegehrende Bitburg, Stammgebäude
Messerschmittstraße 5-7, 54634 Bitburg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany
Erstaufnahmeeinrichtung
State initial reception facility at Messerschmittstraße 5-7, 54634 Bitburg, Rheinland-Pfalz. State reception is where asylum seekers are first accommodated and registered, before being distributed to a municipality. The authority publishes no capacity for this site. Run by Landesamt für Soziales, Jugend und Versorgung. The address register holds no entry for this house number, so this pin is placed on the street rather than on the building. Shown with no capacity and out of use. The figure of 620 first recorded for it double-counted the places at the other two Bitburg buildings, and the authority describes this building as unable to accommodate anyone.

Germany is federal: the Bund funds it, the Länder and municipalities run it. There is no national register, so this coverage starts city by city. This is a state-run facility rather than a municipal one: the Länder run the reception stage, where asylum seekers are first accommodated and registered before being distributed to a municipality. Bavaria calls these ANKER centres, most other Länder call them Erstaufnahmeeinrichtungen. Each Land was researched separately against its own authority, because there is no national list. These authorities publish a postal address but not a coordinate, so the position here is derived from the address rather than supplied by the authority, and facilities published by town only are deliberately not pinned at a town centre.
