WELCOME TO NEUSTADT A.D. AISCH http://www.überzaunundgrenze-nea.de Image: http://www.neustadt-aisch.de Greetings from Mayor Klaus Meier Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Hardly anyone wants to leave his or her homeland – that is an undeniable fact. You have done just that, fled from your ancestral home, and most of you did so because you had good reason to fear for life and limb. You have come to us in hope of finding protection, peace, and personal freedom. We welcome you here! You face many new and sometimes unexpected challenges here. The most important thing for you to do first is to learn to speak and write our language. That is the only way for you to get your bearings in surroundings that are unfamiliar for you, it is the only way for you to connect with the people here, and it will help you to find a job more easily. It is also important for you to find your way around a new and unfamiliar culture, to get to know and understand our sometimes completely different lifestyle. It is important for you to be aware of how we live our daily lives and to learn how we can interact with one another in the right way. But we Germans have to learn that as well. Greetings from Mayor Klaus Meier This comprehensive guide created by our “Unterstützerkreis Asyl” (circle of supporters) is meant to provide as much support as possible so we can interact with one another without problems. It is a useful and wonderful aid. I thank all of those who have worked on it with great commitment, competence, and creativity. And I also thank all of the inhabitants of our city who have welcomed you with respect and warmth at the Asylcafé or other places in the wide network of helpers. Without their voluntary work, it would never have been possible to give you the good feeling of being welcome and to promote your integration as much as possible. Dear new fellow citizens, I know that despite the joy you feel about your successful escape, you face a difficult time with all the new people and circumstances here. I think you can best express your gratitude to the active voluntary helpers by being open and showing interest in us and our lives, but also by enthusiastically telling us a lot about yourselves and your lives. We can only build up mutual trust if we talk to each other and understand each other. Let us all work together - then we will achieve that goal!

Among others, it includes the following basic rights: “Human dignity shall be inviolable.” - Article 1 “Men and women shall have equal rights” - Article 3, Para. 2 That means: Men are not allowed to hit women, they are not allowed to mistreat them emotionally, they are not allowed to abuse them sexually! If these rules are broken, it is a violation of the law! The German police vigorously prosecute such violations! Women have the right to dress as they want. Revealing clothing is a matter of course and normal in Germany! It is definitely NOT an invitation for men to make sexual comments or initiate sexual contact! For all women: Get help if you are threatened, hit, or abused! Call the security service or the Police Tel.: 110 Or call the Helpline Tel.: 08000 116 016 from anywhere in Germany.
