Potsdam (dpa / bb) - The number of refugees living in Brandenburg in accommodations of the state and municipalities decreased again last year.
At the end of December last year, 18,859 refugees were accommodated in these facilities, 434 fewer than a year earlier.
This emerges from information from the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Interior Ministry in Potsdam.
The number of asylum seekers newly admitted to Brandenburg fell last year by 1155 to 2407.
At the end of 2020, 17,635 refugees were living in the various homes in the districts and independent cities, the Ministry of Social Affairs said in response to a request from the Left parliamentary group.
That was 200 fewer than a year ago.
At the end of 2018 there were 17,935 people.
In addition, some refugees were housed in clinics, shelters and facilities for people in need of care and the disabled.
Their number rose from 17 to 57 year-on-year.
1909 asylum seekers were accommodated in Potsdam-Mittelmark at the end of 2020, more than in any other district.
Barnim followed in second place with 1,685 refugees.
Only 359 men and women - and thus the lowest number - lived in municipal facilities in Frankfurt (Oder).

The number of places in the accommodation in the districts and urban districts also decreased slightly from 24,997 at the end of 2019 to 23,863 at the end of last year.
Around half of the refugees lived in shared accommodation.
Around 5,700 were accommodated in temporary flats, a good 3,500 in housing associations.
As the Ministry of the Interior announced at the dpa request, there were 1,224 men and women living in the initial reception facilities of the Central Immigration Office at the end of last year.
That was 334 fewer than twelve months earlier.
