Checked 8 Oct 2026

About this service

The first point of contact for asylum seekers arriving in Hamburg. At the first site (Bargkoppelweg 66a) people are registered, fingerprinted and photographed, and it is decided whether they stay in Hamburg or are assigned to another federal state. At the second site (Bargkoppelstieg 10-14) residents have a medical check and file their asylum application with the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). Run by the Office for Migration.
