Infohäuser

There are 50 Infohäuser (Infohouses) at various locations throughout mainly rural areas in Germany. They offer new migrants, who are third-country nationals coming to Germany with a visa for professional or personal reasons,the opportunity to inform themselves about living and working in Germany, to use the free “Mein Weg nach Deutschland” (My Path to Germany) web portal and German language exercises. They can learn more about the programme offered locally and come into contact with other people.

The Infohäuser are located in various public institutions such as adult education centres, welcome centres, district offices, the German federal employment agencies (Agenturen für Arbeit) and for the first time at two Goethe-Institutes in Germany, in Göttingen and Frankfurt. They complement the existing services for new immigrants at these locations, to ensure that this target group is optimally supported on arrival in Germany.

Retrospective

Within the scope of the project “Ankommen in Deutschland” (2019-2022), co-funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) of the European Union, 35 Infohäuser were established throughout Germany, at which migrants can access information, navigate the migration pathway and use the “Mein Weg nach Deutschland” web portal. They were located at public institutions in rural areas to provide targeted support for migrants in rural areas of Germany.

By the end of September 2025, the Infohäuser had been expanded to a total of 50 locations as part of the project “Pre-integration and Transition Management – Ensuring a Successful Migration Process”, also co-funded by the AMIF.
