Not identified as asylum accommodation
This site is part of Hamburg’s public-law accommodation system (öffentlich-rechtliche Unterbringung), which houses asylum seekers, recognised refugees and homeless residents together. Hamburg publishes no breakdown of residents by site, so who lives here cannot be derived from the source. It is therefore not presented as asylum accommodation and is not counted in any asylum capacity figure on this site.
Transitional accommodation at Birkenstraße 16-19, 28195 Bremen. Bremen does not publish who lives in an individual facility, and says so: asked what is not public, the Senatorin answered that origin data at the level of a single facility is withheld. So this site is shown as mixed and is not counted in any asylum capacity figure. The published capacity is 128 places. Run by Caritasverband Bremen e.V.. The register identifies facilities by street rather than by house number, so the number here comes from a separate published source and the coordinate is derived from it. BORDERLINE, read before mapping. This is two apartment blocks at a single address, leased in their entirety by the city since 01.07.2016 and used only for refugee accommodation (44 flats, 128 places, flats for two to four people and for families of eight or ten). Bremen classifies it as 'ambulante Betreuung', self-contained flats with visiting support rather than a staffed collective home, so it sits on the line between a site and dispersed housing. Caritas describes 'zwei Appartementhäuser, die bis zu 178 Personen Platz bieten'. Lease extended ten years to 2036 by the Senate on 04.02.2025.

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. Bremen's register is an annexe to a Bürgerschaft answer, giving each facility's type, district, street, operator and contract dates, but no house number and no population column. So the house number comes from operators, Senate lease papers, district committee papers and press, and the coordinate is derived from it. Bremen does not publish who lives in an individual facility, and is explicit about it: asked what information is not public, the Senatorin answered that origin data at the level of a single facility is withheld. So no Bremen site carries an asylum label and none is counted in any asylum capacity figure. Bremerhaven, which is the Land's other city and a separate authority, is not yet covered here: its two Gemeinschaftsunterkünfte appear in the register with no address, and its other stock is scattered flats, which we do not map in any country.
