Welcome to Spandau Guide for immigrants German English Arabic Farsi Dari Kurdish French Russian Polish Turkish Dear Spandauers, We are delighted to present our guide “Welcome to Spandau”. This guide has been developed by the district’s Integration Officer (Integration Management Department), the organisational unit Quality Development, Planning and Coordination, and the Young People’s Office, as part of a cross-departmental collaboration. Around 240,000 people from a range of countries live in our district. Many new Spandau residents come from overseas. To help everyone settle in well, we would like to give you an aid to orientation with our “Welcome to Spandau” guide, which will make it easier for you to find your way round Spandau. The guide is divided into central themes, so you can find the specialist advice you need quickly and surely. We have put together a selection of the main advice centres within Spandau and also Berlin as a whole. The main aim of this orientation aid is to make it easier for all new Spandau residents to integrate into their social space and support the work of both the voluntary and official bodies. As well as German, the guide is available in English, Arabic, Farsi, Dari, Kurdish, French, Russian, Polish, and Turkish. We would be delighted if this guide helps you find your feet in Spandau. We hope you feel at home in our district. With kind regards Frank Bewig Helmut Kleebank Stephan Machulik City Councillor for Building, District Mayor City Councillor for Citizen Services, Planning and Health Regulatory Affairs and Young
