Overview

• On June 23, Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann, District Administrator Thomas Karmasin, and Mayor Christian Götz signed an agreement keeping the former Fliegerhorst facility open for asylum seekers through 2030.
• The center will retain its maximum capacity of 1,000 places as the largest Ankerzentrum dependency in Oberbayern.
• The agreement introduces work opportunities for residents to maintain the center’s grounds and surroundings, enhancing site upkeep and providing employment.
• Migrant numbers in Bavarian Ankerzentren have fallen from roughly 10,900 in May 2024 to about 8,700 by the end of May 2025.
• The federal government continues to lease the Fliegerhorst site to Bavaria rent-free, a setup officials say avoids the expense of new decentralized asylum accommodations.
