Overview
- Roughly 450 people are currently housed after about three weeks of live operation, with capacity to scale to 900.
- The centre serves as Upper Bavaria’s first point of contact, consolidating registration, health checks, municipal placement and asylum procedures under one roof.
- The building spans 11 floors with 328 rooms, mostly multi-bed accommodations with only ten single rooms, plus a dining hall, laundry, prayer and leisure rooms, and 24/7 security.
- The state plans to use the site for up to ten years with major costs covered by the Freistaat, replacing older first‑reception locations in Freimann and the Euroindustriepark.
- Arrivals to Bavaria have fallen to about 8,900 through August from roughly 23,000 a year earlier, as officials defend the 2018 Anker model’s efficiency and critics warn of isolation.
