About
the Bad Soden Refugee Housing Complex
The German Federal Government manages the largest economy in Europe. The 80
million have built a comprehensive system of health and welfare benefits that
make life in Germany comfortable and predictable. Consequently, Germany is
a “Mecca” for political and economic refugees from international “hot
spots,” as
well as economic migrants who seek a radical improvement in their standard
of
living.
Why
The disintegration of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, and especially the
Bosnian
War, led to a flood of refugees into Germany. The country lacked surplus
housing
and was faced with hundreds, sometimes thousands of refugees arriving each
day.
Additionally, most of the refugees were Moslems arriving in Christian Germany
and required housing that would reflect their lifestyles and customs.
Our
Solution
Time and money were tight in a country strained already by the ongoing integration
of an impoverished East Germany into the Greater German economy. Whitley
built and shipped four housing complexes
to Germany for less money and at a faster
rate than local construction companies in
Germany! Whitley was also able to ship
housing that respected the Moslem origins
of the future inhabitants and met or exceeded
complex German housing codes.
Whitley was also able to package the units
to withstand a potentially turbulent trans-
Atlantic crossing. |
