Friedland is a small, very small town in Lower Saxony, just 14 kilometers from Göttingen. My relatives brought me there straight from the airport - so that I could get used to it and complete all the necessary formalities.
I saw there a cluster of small one-story yellow buildings, which were recommended to me in advance as barracks. It was late, so they simply gave me the keys to the room and a card that would be used to give me food, and told me where and when I should come in the morning to check in.
The rooms there are four-bed, with four iron beds and four closets that can be locked with a key. But there were very few people (after all, almost everyone left the CIS before the mid-2000s), so I lived alone in my room all week, walked along the quiet corridors, boiled tea in the empty kitchen. By the way, the kettles there are secured in place with some kind of locks: either to prevent them from being stolen, or to prevent them from being turned on in the rooms, violating fire safety rules. Apparently, the Germans do not really believe in the presence of legal awareness among newly arrived people.
It seems that in the barracks people are grouped according to their nationality. There are a couple of almost empty buildings for people coming from Russia and Kazakhstan (there are many more of the latter) and there are a lot of other buildings densely populated by people with a less European appearance. Of course, blacks (from Somalia and somewhere else) and, of course, Arabs (those from Syria and Libya). They all gather three times a day at the same time, in the same place. At the entrance to the dining room, at 7.00, 11.30 and 16.30. They gather in advance, in a very dense crowd at the very doors, and when the guard opens the door (and he does this with an invariably disgusted expression on his face), they rush inside, pushing each other away. In fact, there is enough food for everyone, and it’s not worth it (and the food is frankly bad), but people still worry.
I can’t help but say something else about cultural features: near the Friedland train station, right on the asphalt, during one walk I saw a pile of human excrement. All around there is the usual German cleanliness, but here - this. I suspect that the culprit of the incident was not an indigenous resident at all... And a photograph of another “non-indigenous”, namely a Somali, hangs in all administrative buildings. The man became famous for stabbing someone to death right there in the camp, and has still not been found.
But in general, refugees are a fairly calm crowd, and many of them try to behave correctly. For example, they say "sorry", "thank you" or "hello" depending on the situation, in German or English. They don’t jump ahead of their turn (well, almost never). And there was still only one unpleasant discovery, although I walked around the entire town many times in an attempt to unwind.
True, most of the “immigrants” are still very dissatisfied with Germany’s migration policy. After standing in a general queue, under advertisements in Chinese, Polish and four varieties of Arabic, looking at pregnant black women with a couple of other children clinging to their hems, at uncontrolled Arab boys running, screaming and studying the world around them with great interest, the Russians (or “Russians,” the devil knows) start conversations over food on a limited range of topics: “why are they letting all these people in?”, “look, look at that face!” and even “the German race has completely degenerated.”
Refugees live in the camp, as I understand it, for a long time. There are also German language courses for them. But the migrants live in Friedland for an average of four days until they receive necessary documents. First - registration. “First you need to be unmelted,” experienced people say, following the established fashion, which is unpleasant for me, of inserting German words modified in the Russian manner into Russian speech. Each migrant is given a “runner” with a list of all places and actions, and the process begins.
First you need to go to Göttingen for an x-ray. People with open tuberculosis are, of course, not expelled from Germany: they are sent to a specialized camp located somewhere nearby, and treated there. And then you need to go around five more offices in the camp itself, and go into some more than once. This takes three days. Officials must record information about education and work experience, conclude an agreement to receive benefits, and find out whether there are places in the federal land where the migrant wants to go. By the way, I wasn’t very lucky with this: my relatives live in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, but these lands are the most popular, and at least in those days people were sent there only if there were siblings or children-parents there. Uncles and aunts are not close enough relatives, alas. So I was given a choice between Mecklenburg-Pomerania and Saxony. The top one, that is. I, of course, chose the second one.
Yes, I almost forgot: the favorite topic of conversation in queues in front of offices is German officials. This, I must admit, surprised me. Nobody remembers the Russia they just left, where things are clearly worse, but they complain about the Germans. They work slowly, just for show, are not very friendly, and do not receive you at the appointed time. The latter, by the way, is true. Moreover, it happened that they scheduled an appointment for early morning - at 7.30, for example, and forced me to wait until ten.
Here you go. They assigned me Saxony as my place of residence and asked me to live in Friedland for three more days until a place became available here. It was Friday-Sunday, so there was simply no one in the Russian barracks. At all. To entertain myself, I went to Göttingen, then went to Kassel, and on Monday at six in the morning I received a ticket upon discharge from the camp and went east - with transfers in Schneewald, Halle, Leipzig, Dresden and Pirna.
Finally, photos from my building.
Next to each door they write the names and number of persons (at the top, of course; at the bottom - the room number):
Skylight: 
The map was very relevant: 
Warning about telephone scammers:
Kitchen: 
This hangs over the sink: 
Two such structures stand in each room: 
"Two questions for the camera?" - a DW correspondent addresses a group of people. "No, no, no. No way!" - they answer. Russian-speaking residents of the last camp in Germany for ethnic Germans - the so-called late migrants, located on the border of the federal states of Lower Saxony and Hesse, unanimously refuse to give video interviews. They are afraid.
Some say that they are afraid of troubles for relatives in Russia, others do not want their friends to find out that they have moved to Germany in the first place, and still others make excuses by saying that, “Mom doesn’t know that I smoke.” It takes an hour to convince someone to film.
Step in new life
Although in reality there is nothing to be afraid of. Those who found themselves here in Friedland have already taken a decisive step into a new life. The camp for refugees and late settlers is considered the “gateway to Germany” - today all Russian Germans returning to their historical homeland pass through it. Over the past five years, their number has been growing steadily.
Spending a few days here immediately after arriving in Germany, they undergo a medical examination in neighboring Göttingen, receive documents and find out their destination - the federal state in which they will start a new life.
"Where?" - this question is greeted by everyone who leaves the officials in the waiting room on the second floor in the building of the local branch of the Federal Administrative Department, located right on the camp grounds. "Thuringia!" - someone answers, and a sigh of sympathy is heard throughout the hall. Because Thuringia is former GDR, this is not considered very good. But the southern or western lands- Bavaria or North Rhine-Westphalia is better.
“Before, old people left, now young people are fleeing”
R.'s family also wants to go to Bavaria, to Munich. Retired parents and a daughter who is a doctor who taught at medical institute at home. “You know what kind of science we have - it’s none,” says the mother. “Before, old people left for Germany, now young people are fleeing.” The daughter is silent and sighs.
The father says that the work of his public organization, which dealt with German-Russian relations, became impossible due to the law on “foreign agents.” “So, maybe you’ll give an interview to a media company that almost ended up on the list of ‘foreign agents’?” - asks a DW correspondent. Everyone is laughing. “No, under no circumstances. There is no need for any interviews,” comes the answer.
The wall in the waiting room is decorated from floor to ceiling with children's drawings. The sun, the rainbow, the names of the cities from which its new inhabitants came to Germany.
Nearby, the Trudnov family - parents and two twin sons - are waiting for their appointment with an official. They arrived in Germany from Kaliningrad literally the day before yesterday. And this family can be considered typical representatives of the last wave of emigration of ethnic Germans from Russia - almost all of their relatives have already moved to Germany. In the spring of 2016, they also decided to move. “We have been visiting relatives every year since 2002,” says Larisa Trudova. “We really like it in Germany.”
From the German bureaucratic machine they have the most best impressions: “Everything is done quickly, the queues look large, but they move quickly. And the children did not have time to get tired.” The Trudnovs hope that their children will receive a good education and will find application in the field of German-Russian relations. Which, according to the spouses, will get better sooner or later.
Moving to Germany without culture shock
Camp director Heinrich Hörnschemeyer has been working here since the summer of 1991. Since 2000, the point in Friedland has become the only one in all of Germany where ethnic Germans from the countries of the former USSR, primarily from Russia and Kazakhstan, are accepted and distributed among the federal states. The director says the demographic composition of Russian Germans has changed greatly in recent years. During the main wave of repatriation in the early 1990s, families of up to 20 people, including representatives of several generations of ethnic Germans, came to Germany. For most of them, this was their first visit to Germany, and “they could be seen a mile away” - according to traditional costumes. “In those days, young people didn’t wear jeans,” he recalls with a smile.
The latest wave of immigrants includes people who have relatives in Germany and clear ideas about what awaits them in the country and what they want. Camp guests do not smoke where it is not permitted and show up for appointments with officials on time, Hoernschemeyer said.
“They are much better prepared, they don’t have any culture shock,” notes Hörnschemeyer. “And this is noticeable if only because in recent years the country has stopped talking about the problems of integrating late migrants.” The history of the mass resettlement of Russian Germans to Germany, according to him, is a success story.
"People know what awaits them"
"Moving to Germany can no longer be compared to jumping into cold water, as it was in the 1990s. People know what awaits them," agrees Joachim Mrugalla, who runs the local branch of the Federal Office of Administration.
He explains the increase in the number of immigrants from the former USSR observed over the past five years simply. Since 2013, Germany has had a new law that softens the entry conditions for families of ethnic Germans.
If previously moving was possible once and for the whole family at once, now relatives remaining in Russia can reunite with those who have already moved to Germany. Moreover, the language barrier is reduced for them - the mandatory German language test can be retaken several times. Everyone uses innovations more people, so the number of migrants is growing.
Context
The camp in Friedland has a capacity of 800 people. About a third of them are reserved for late migrants, the rest for refugees and other categories of migrants. Accommodation and food here are free. The migrants spend no more than a week in this place before scattering throughout the country.
Just over 7,000 people passed through Friedland last year. This is almost a fivefold increase compared to 2013. But this is nothing compared to the millions of people who arrived here in the 1990s.
“Back then ten people could spend the night in one room - and no one was indignant,” recalls camp director Heinrich Hörnschemeyer with a smile.
The first goal after returning to the historical homeland is a distribution camp for the city center. It opens the door to various categories of migrants: refugees, Jews, from the former USSR.
How to get to Friedland
- It is convenient to fly to Hannover by plane, then go by train to Göttingen and then take a few minutes by train.
- But if you fly to Leipzig, Berlin, Frankfurt am Main or Dresden, the journey won't get much longer.
German train services are excellent, with trains running quickly and frequently. Pay attention to the ticket price and arrival time.
Arrival in Friedland, building No. 16 in the background, where interviews are taking place.
It is inconvenient to travel from Russia by train. The route Berlin - Kassel - Friedland has two transfers in Germany. For a traveler laden with belongings, it’s hardly the best option to hop around train stations.
The services of private companies provide maximum comfort. Arrivals will be met at the airport or train station and taken directly to. Transfer from Hannover costs approximately 200€.
TRANSFER TO FRIEDLAND
Get to Friedland in comfort! A Russian-speaking driver will meet you at Hannover Airport, help you load your luggage onto the bus, and take you straight to the gates of the resettlement camp in Friedland.
ORDER TRANSFER
If you are interested in how to get to the camp of late migrants cheaper, choose a bus. It takes longer and is least convenient.
What awaits you there
Friedland's task is the initial registration of newly arrived Germans and resettlement throughout the territory of Germany. The average length of stay is 3 days.
Plan of a camp for late settlers in Friedland
Working days are from Monday to Friday, but moving in new residents on weekends is not a problem. Arrive on Sunday, and start solving matters on Monday - a good option. The registration procedure takes place in building No. 1.
When you arrive at the Friedland IDP camp, you will receive a sheet with designated reception hours, forms to fill out, a key to the room, and a pass card to the dining room for the family. Everyone receives gifts from charitable organizations - clothes and dictionaries.
It is not necessary to live in the camp area. rent a hotel or stay with friends/relatives if the person agrees not to be late.
If your knowledge of German does not allow you to communicate freely, you can interview a relative or friend who speaks the language. No one will be sent back for language ignorance, but it is absolutely necessary to understand exactly what the officials are saying. It is impossible to answer unequivocally what questions are asked - everything is personal.
Check-in, document verification, medical procedures
Arriving Germans are accommodated in buildings No. 5-7. The dining room is located in building No. 4 (at the entrance they check the presence of a card and put a stamp).
Dormitory room at the camp in Friedland
The rooms and bed linen are clean. Not a hotel, but for a couple of days the weather doesn't work. Near the door to the room there is a sign on which the family's name, the number of residents and the date of arrival are written.
In building No. 16, late migrants undergo a check of papers and personal data specified in the application form.
What documents need to be prepared for the first appointment:
- Completed forms
- Aufnahmebescheid
- Passports and birth and marriage certificates of family members
The questionnaire indicates the desired place of residence in Germany, which is discussed at the second interview.
Residents of the Friedland camp undergo fluorography during their stay. On the appointed day, the group is collected in the morning and taken by bus to Göttingen, where medical examinations are carried out.

About health insurance and assistance
From the moment of arrival until distribution, all necessary medical care is provided free of charge. After registration for permanent residence for the first 78 weeks, the regional AOK fund is responsible for health insurance, regardless of status and benefits.
- Further, state insurance for the unemployed is paid by the state.
- Employees can continue to work at AOK or change companies at their own discretion.
- Entrepreneurs choose between private and voluntary insurance.
Registrierschein
After completing the interviews at the Friedland IDP camp and signing the distribution documents, a registration certificate is issued and free tickets to your place of residence.
In the dormitories of the Friedland camp there are children's corners for games in bad weather.
Persons with §4 who were born before 1956 are entitled to a one-time compensation - Eingliederungshilfe. The size varies depending on the date of birth and ranges from 2000-3000 €. You can receive money in Friedland or upon arrival for permanent residence.
From camp to home
Choice federal state and cities are limited by availability and budget.
- The south and center of Germany are overpopulated with refugees.
- Russian Germans are often offered the north of Germany.
- You can get to the desired land if you have relatives who are ready to register you with them.
The distribution result depends greatly on the official. Personal charm will have to be turned on at full strength. If the city has no budget for benefits, new arrivals are rejected in any case.
They will be assigned to the selected location if you own your own property in the country or voluntarily refuse social benefits.
Become a German citizen
You are allocated a room in a hostel or an apartment paid for by social services.
Further actions:
- The first step is to contact the city hall - Rathaus, and register in Germany.
- A copy of the registration confirmation received must be sent to Camp Friedland at BVA.
- You will be sent a certificate of late migration - Spätaussiedlerbescheinigung, upon receipt of which you become citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The time has come to issue German passports - the mayor's office is responsible for issuing them. But first, you are allowed to contact the registry office - Standesamt to change the spelling of names and surnames in the German manner. The procedure is performed once free of charge, then correcting the letter costs 200 €.
Important! Children born between their arrival in Friedland and their parents' receipt of settlement certificates do not receive German citizenship. Perhaps in the future the legal incident will be corrected, but for now it is better for late-term pregnant women not to leave before giving birth in order to avoid bureaucratic red tape that takes several years. Moving in with a newborn does not bring any problems. The birth of a child after one of the parents has received a certificate also automatically gives the baby German citizenship.
Read more about financial and housing issues
It's difficult to get out of the hostel. You will be offered social apartments if there are any available, but in most cases you will have to look for housing on your own.
The apartment must meet the payment terms for low-income people. The specific sizes depend on the city; Jobcenter is responsible for paying for housing for those who are able to work, and Sozialamt for those who are not able to work. It is necessary to coordinate actions with the department. If everything complies with the rules, you receive payment guarantees and can move out of the hostel.
You will have to communicate with social service officials from day one. Jobcenter issues forms for able-bodied family members to register with the labor exchange.
- Those who can work are paid unemployment.
- Those who are unable to work apply for benefits at Sozialamt.
- For children under 18 who have moved, Kindergeld benefits are issued.
Resettlement under §4 opens up the right to re-credit pensions earned in the former USSR. To confirm the length of service, you will need a work book and a PF certificate from the country of departure on the amount of contributions paid. The papers must be given to the state pension fund - Rentenversicherung.
To deposit money, you must open an account in a German bank.
Depending on the land and the specific banking institution, it may be necessary to obtain a tax number. This issue is resolved at the mayor's office or directly at the tax office - Finanzamt.
After completing the procedures, 102 € will be credited for each family member. They partially compensate for the journey to the refugee camp in Germany.
If you provide proof of travel expenses above this amount, you may be eligible for more compensation. Arrival by car is also subject to compensation. Keep proof of your purchase of tickets, gasoline, and any transportation expenses to Friedland.
- After distribution and receipt of passports, you are allowed to move to any city you wish. But the housing issue will have to be resolved independently.
- Social benefits and the right to attend integration courses are retained in full.
- Those receiving benefits must make prior arrangements with the authorities of the city where they are moving to in order to continue receiving social assistance and housing payments. An unapproved move may result in loss of benefits.
Advanced training and German language
If you immigrate with an engineering degree, the camp will refer you to the Otto Benecke Foundation. The organization provides free scholarships to engineers arriving from Eastern European countries. With this money, a technical specialist can improve his qualifications or retrain in the German way at one of the highest educational institutions, with whom the fund has entered into an agreement. Migrants under 31 years of age receive assistance with the recognition of diplomas.
With a registration certificate you can take free integration courses lasting six months. For permission to take courses, please contact the Office for Foreigners - Ausländeramt. If the distance to the venue is more than 3 kilometers, a free pass for public transport is included.
The course volume is 600 hours (an additional module on basic life issues in the country is optional). The content roughly repeats the content of this site, only on German.
It is unrealistic for a working person to take courses; there is simply nowhere to get so much time.
The history of the camp in Friedland
The camp was created in this town not by chance. It was built immediately after the war. We chose a place at the junction of 3 occupation zones: British, Soviet and American.
- At first, former prisoners returning from the USSR were settled there.
- Then they were used to receive defectors from the GDR to the Federal Republic of Germany.
- Since 1980, migrants from the Soviet Union began to be resettled, and then people with German “roots”.
Previously, there were several such camps for the resettlement of ethnic Germans, but then the migration flow dried up, and this moment Only Friedland remains open.

Based on materials from the site www.tupa-germania.ru
The reception camp for late settlers Friedland was located in small village, on the southern edge of the federal state of Lower Saxony in Germany. The camp is subordinate to the federal agency BVA. Late settlers who have received Aufnahmebescheid arrive at this camp for initial registration and completion of the initiated procedures under the late settler program.
Camp Friedland - personal experience
My arrival at the Friedland camp was in November 2014. At that time there was a huge influx of refugees and the camp was overcrowded. As a result, they could not accommodate me in the camp - there were no places. At the expense of the federal department, I was accommodated in a hotel located in a neighboring town. In total, the procedures in the camp took about a week, after which I was already assigned to the city where I live now.
The Friedland resettlement camp accepts new residents on weekdays and weekends. You can find the resettlement camp at: Bundesverwaltungsamt - Außenstelle Friedland, Heimkehrerstr. 16, 37133 Friedland, Germany. The registration itself and the work hours of officials are from Monday to Friday. You will only have to communicate with officials and camp workers in German. If your knowledge does not allow this, you should think about a relative or friends who can help in this situation. Understanding officials is simply vital.
You will be provided with clean bed linen, keys to the room in the camp, and a sheet indicating the authorities that you will need to go through. The Friedland late migrant camp is, of course, not a five-star hotel, but it is quite possible to stay there for a couple of days. We'll talk more about interviews, procedures and questionnaires below.
Fluorography
First of all, they send you to a neighboring town for fluorography. At the clinic we found ourselves in, four people entered different doors at a time, so the line went very quickly and did not cause any inconvenience. You find yourself alone in the room, so you calmly shoot up and move on. Upon completion, get dressed and go out to the others. After finishing X-raying adults, doctors begin examining children. Children are not given x-rays - they are examined by therapists, ENT specialists and other doctors. Upon completion, you will be provided with a certificate with the result of your examination and you will return to the Friedland camp
Initial registration
Afterwards, you will visit the federal office of the BVA. It is located right in the Friedland camp. They will provide questionnaires with questions written in German (explanations in Russian can be found below each question) - it is important to remember that the questionnaires must be filled out exclusively in German. A rough list of questions looks like this:
- FULL NAME
- Age
- Where are you from?
- Education
- Work experience (where and when and by whom did you work)
- Relatives in Germany, where they live
- Religion
- Where would you like to live in Germany
The forms are handed over to officials and there will be several hours of waiting. Next, they call the official, the forms and documents are checked. They ask questions, but this is not just a sincere conversation - everything is entered into the computer.
Allocation to permanent residence
A few days later I again had a meeting with an official from a federal department. This was a different official than the one who registered me. It turned out that they had been looking for me since the morning, but I was at the hotel and did not know about it. In the office, the official asked me where I would like to live - in what city and land. I asked to go to the city to visit my relatives and he sent a request to that city about the opportunity to receive me, asking me to sit in the waiting room in the meantime. After an hour of waiting, I was called back into his office. On his desk he already had ready-made documents stating that I had been registered at the Friedland camp, a direction to and a direction to the hostel of the city where I was assigned. They settled me in a different city than where I originally asked. Now I live 400 km from the city where I wanted to go.
The choice of city and land where you would like to live is limited - it all depends on the city’s ability to accept you. There is a high probability of living where you would like, if you have relatives in this city and the opportunity to register you with them at least for the first time, not yet.
Final stage
The last thing I visited in the Friedland late migrant camp was the Jobcenter. There they also gave me a certain questionnaire, which I later submitted to Jobcenter in my city. So they began to accrue me a “late resettlement allowance.” Later, I notified the camp management that all procedures were completed and I was given 110 euros - partial compensation for the cost of the flight to Germany. They also bought me a train ticket so I could get to the city. In the morning I handed over the keys to the room, received a few more documents and went to the station. This was the end of my stay in the Friedland displaced persons camp.
