Storyline


Residents of a small town in suburban Munich have built a four-meter-tall wall to segregate Mideast migrants.

Munich, as one of Germany's most successful industrial and financial centers, has been suffering from a large influx of refugees over the last few years, just like many other places across the country.

Tensions are gathering between local residents and outsiders, as the country has been hit by many terrorist attacks over the past few years, which most people believe should be blamed on the government's refugee policy. Hate-based ideologies are resurging, while far-right politicians are amplifying people's anger and distrust upon migrants.

Since last September, Munich has accepted the largest number of refugees among all German cities.

The small town in the southern suburban area of Munich has recently built a refugee center to house the newcomers, but residents complained that they have been making too much noise as well as affecting the prices of their properties, which have dived due to being adjacent to the refugee center.

It is estimated that this town will be assigned another 160 teenager refugees next Spring.

Some residents then filed an application to the court to build a stone-wall between them and the refugees. The appeal was approved, with a four-meter-tall, 100-meter-long, half-meter-thick wall built, using stones and iron wire, whose design was believed to be able to block the noise from the other side.

However, the wall has stirred up strong feelings among locals.

A resident that the correspondent talked with said that since there is a larger population of senior citizens here, they think the young migrants are very loud, and they think it's necessary to have a wall between them.

But some hold different views. "There should be no walls between people, anyway. You should argue with people individually. So there's good people and bad people in every race, everywhere around the world. So that's my opinion. I wouldn't build a wall," said another resident.

This wall may be just a microcosm of the debates on the country's refugee policies, while migrants' peaceful integrations into local communities is the most important issue that the government has to face.
