Opitz Holzbau has constructed two large refugee shelters for the first admittance facility in Halberstadt. 2,500 refugees live in Halberstadt (population 50,000). The only first admittance facility in the state of Saxony-Anhalt is located here.
The environmentally friendly choice of wood offers high energy efficiency: Exterior walls are heavily insulated. The choice of wood as a building material also offers domestic comfort and benefits the environment.
