Landlords can also contact the city of Rheine with offers
Rheine. The city of Rheine is preparing for refugees from Ukraine. What is needed at the moment is above all living space. How many people from Ukraine are expected in Rheine, the city administration can currently not yet quantify. “Unfortunately, we do not know how many refugees we have to expect. But we are concerned with being prepared when refugees come to us,” explains Mayor Dr. Peter Lüttmann. In the last two days alone, there have been announcements that more than 30 people from the crisis area will initially be taken in by friends and relatives in Rheine. It is foreseeable that further living space will be needed in addition to the municipal capacities.
“Landlords who would be willing to provide housing for refugees from Ukraine can contact the city of Rheine. Here, corresponding offers are currently collected and mediated in case of need,” explains the city administration in your call today. Who would like to let appropriate dwelling to refugees, can turn by E-Mail to the city Rheine. Likewise housing offers can be announced under the switched Hotline 05971 939-990 (Mo-Thu 09-16 o’clock and Fr from 09-12 o’clock).
However, as the District Administrator of the Steinfurt district, Dr. Martin Sommer, as well as the District President, Dr. Dorothee Feller, urgently request, “one should refrain from one’s own and partly private support activities and assistance initiatives that relate to the pick-up of refugees and independent housing.” The private commitment of the many helpers is more than welcome, but must not lead to the helpers or the refugees putting themselves in additional danger. “In the current crisis situation, a coordinated, plannable and, above all, concerted approach is much more necessary, which is controlled centrally via the Münster district government,” Sommer continued. “That is why it is all the more important that the offers of help are also centrally coordinated and bundled in Rheine, in order to provide the best possible care for the people coming to us from Ukraine,” Rheine’s alderman Raimund Gausmann also emphasizes the necessity of such an approach. Donations in particular are urgently needed at the moment to enable the aid organizations based on the ground to provide rapid assistance. Photo: Tagesschau.de
