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. The details here come from the City of Cologne’s "Flüchtlingsunterkünfte Köln" dataset, taken from the city Geoportal’s service, including the city’s own coordinates, so nothing is geocoded by us. This register covers refugee accommodation specifically, so unlike Hamburg there is no mixed population to separate, and it names the operator of each site. Cologne publishes no opening dates, so its sites carry no timeline. Flats holding fewer than 48 places are excluded here as dispersed housing, which we do not map in any country.
