Migrants who have found refuge and a new home in the district of Kelheim receive support from many professionals, authorities, advisors and counsellors. However, support through volunteers has always been an essential foundation. These volunteers put in great effort for refugees as people of trust in various situations and help them to arrive in their new home.

Daily, volunteers offer support in every area of daily life in the communities; from their search for a new apartment to supporting them with appointments such as scheduled doctors visits. The support of our volunteers is a valuable commodity and is essential for successful integration in the district of Kelheim.

Since 2017, the district of Kelheim is supported by our Integration Manager (Integrationslotse). Mr. Wiesbeck, resumed responsibilities as the new Integration Manager for the local authority (Landratsamt Kelheim), after Ms. Pollinger left the office. Mr. Wiesbeck coordinates the dedicated volunteers who offer refugee support. He is the main contact for professionals and residents interested in the district of Kelheim when it comes to integration and topics that are connected to the issue.
