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.
