Overview
- The proposed center on Niddastraße 76 is slated to open in autumn 2026 with medical care, rest areas and supervised crack consumption spaces.
- Under the current plan only Frankfurt residents would receive full services while non-residents are offered emergency aid and transport to their home municipalities.
- Linke faction leader Dominike Pauli decried the residency restriction as against humanitarian principles and tabled an amendment for open access.
- FDP members voted against quitting the four-party coalition and will oppose the help center at the July 3 city council session.
- Mayor Mike Josef and Health Councillor Elke Voitl have formed an inter-municipal working group to urge neighboring towns to set up drug aid facilities before the center’s letter of intent expires in July.
