Upahl Asylum Container Camp Starts Wind-Down With First 83 Moved to Gadebusch

The permit expires at month’s end, prompting dismantling followed by a planned sale.

Overview

  • County officials said 83 people left the Upahl site and moved into a newly built 150-place container facility in Gadebusch.
  • Roughly 50 remaining residents are slated to relocate to a 100-place site in Selmsdorf once a final safety inspection is completed this week.
  • The Upahl containers will be removed after evacuation as the temporary permit ends at the end of September, and the plot is to be offered to an investor.
  • A lawsuit by the municipality challenging the camp’s building permit remains pending at the Higher Administrative Court in Greifswald.
  • The project drew sustained local protests that cut planned capacity from 400 to 250, and the district leader previously reported only minor internal conflicts and no notable incidents outside.
