Accommodation for people displaced from Ukraine
The authority designates this site for people displaced from Ukraine, recording it as a Flüchtlingsunterkunft (FU) rather than a Gemeinschaftsunterkunft for asylum seekers. People displaced from Ukraine hold temporary protection under the EU directive, a different legal route from asylum, with no asylum application and no reception-centre stage. It is therefore not presented as asylum accommodation and is not counted in any asylum capacity figure on this site.
Shared accommodation at Friederikenstraße 37, 04279 Leipzig. The city records this in a table of its own, for people displaced from Ukraine rather than for asylum seekers, and it is the only site in it. The published capacity is 252 places. Run by DRK Kreisverband Leipzig-Stadt e.V.. THE Ukraine site: it is the only entry in the council paper's Table 3, "Kapazität und Belegung in Gemeinschaftsunterkünften für Schutzsuchende aus der Ukraine", 252 places, 227 usable, 174 occupied at 31.12.2025. City web page gives 250 places, near-identical. Every other Leipzig GU sits in Table 2, which is expressly "ausgenommen Schutzsuchende aus der Ukraine".

Stadt Leipzig, Sozialamt: Gemeinschaftsunterkünfte, with the quarterly report to the council for capacity and occupancy (2025-12-31) · official
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. Leipzig publishes no accommodation geodata, so unlike Dresden and Chemnitz there is no service to read and the coordinate here is derived from the address. What the city has instead is the clearest register of the three: a filterable list of every Gemeinschaftsunterkunft with a page per site giving address, Ortsteil, capacity and operator, backed by the Sozialamt's quarterly report to the council. Leipzig also separates its two groups, which Berlin and Bremen do not: asylum accommodation sits in one table and accommodation for people displaced from Ukraine in a table of its own holding a single site, so the population shown here is the city's own classification rather than our inference. One site, on Stannebeinplatz, is deliberately absent: two official sources give it different house numbers and a pin needs one of them to be right.
