Last month we posted about the plight of the German town of Boostedt, which had just 4,600 inhabitants before the Great Refugee Crisis of 2015, and now hosts 1,300 culture-enrichers. The impact of so many migrants on the town has been immense.

The following video looks at the reasons for the failure of the multicultural experiment in Boostedt. The Gutmenschen of the town were totally on board with the Welcoming Culture when the crisis started, but the reality of mass Third World immigration has since taught them a hard lesson.

Many thanks to MissPiggy for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Video transcript:

00:00 It is a call for help from Mayor Hartmut König. He feels that he and his community

00:05 have been abandoned by the government of his state, Schleswig-Holstein.

00:09 The small city was sent three time as many refugees as originally planned.

00:13 Now fear and squabbling dominate in Boostedt, which was once considered

00:17 the showcase city of the welcoming culture.

00:20 1,300 refugees live in Boostedt, a community of just 4,600 residents.

00:28 Although there are many refugees, the “Welcoming Cafe” is closed.

00:32 The weekly get-together meetings with coffee and cake no longer take place,

00:36 because the welcoming culture has turned into fear and loathing.

00:40 I’m afraid for my 15-year-old daughter, that something will happen to her,

00:44 especially if she takes the train — In this small village peace and quiet have departed.

00:50 So what has gone wrong in this tiny city in Schleswig-Holstein? We had a look around

00:54 in Boostedt. We met with the city’s mayor, Hartmut König. He showed us the

00:58 train station where recently the free wifi was switched off. The reason?

01:05 The hotspot led to problems with the refugees, because they would loiter

01:09 on the train tracks and urinate on the fences. And those aren’t

01:13 the only problems, so Hartmut König is concerned that the “welcoming culture”

01:17 is souring. —“It’ just not working so well any longer. The people feel annoyed and

01:21 disturbed by the situation here. They bluntly say that the refugees are

01:25 disrespectful. They take up the entire sidewalk and leave no room for others

01:29 to walk. If young girls walk by, they make kissing sounds — that kind of thing.

01:37 They drink alcohol here in the morning while commuters are on their way to work.”

01:45 Josef Schreiber is the second Chairman of the Association “Welcome to Boostedt”.

01:49 The German-language course once offered by his association no longer exists.

01:54 The association disbanded because there were no longer any refugees showing up

01:58 for lessons. Of course, it was very frustrating and disappointing at the time.

02:06 Integration FAIL instead of integration FUN — that is the situation in Boostedt today.

02:12 Three years ago the mood was completely different. On the 30th of July in 2015,

02:17 there was a celebrated presentation and sightseeing tour of the refugee center.

02:21 The mayor and governor were confident that the state’s €300 million project

02:25 would take root. —As you see here, it is not crowded. Our goal

02:34 is to make it a welcoming environment and a decent place to live.

02:37 And also to show this is a country that makes every effort to help refugees find

02:41 a new home and put down roots after they have arrived.

02:49 Wir Schaffen Das! (We can do it!) The 4,600 citizens were highly committed,

02:53 but the 400 refugees originally planned turned into 1,300 over time.

03:02 Today about 800 of them don’t have a chance of receiving permanent residency.

03:06 They are obligated to leave the country, and are awaiting final deportation.

03:10 These waiting refugees are causing problems their drunkenness and rioting

03:14 in the village. Even though the police presence has increased the residents

03:18 still have concerns. —They have tried to grab women and kiss them, etc. etc.

03:22 The police are called and nothing happens. Nothing. The police come,

03:26 write their names down and that’s it. No consequences. Now women are afraid.

03:32 I know many women who used to take the train. They told me they would

03:36 never take the train alone anymore.

03:40 They pee too much in our front yard and around the shops. The drunken

03:48 loitering is the worst, along with their swearing. We have small children

03:52 that play in the yard. It’s awful to have some drunk guy standing six feet away

03:58 from your child with his pants down.

04:02 I have been robbed. It happened while I was shopping; someone took my wallet

04:07 When you’ve been robbed and threatened, it really makes you think

04:11 more about the entire situation.

04:17 The residents that we spoke with expressed their resentment and discontent,

04:21 but what do the refugees say about the situation in the city? We tried to speak with

04:25 them and met with Zervan, who comes from Iraq, but also must leave Germany.

04:30 The 35-year-old is the only one willing to talk openly about his situation

04:34 and give his opinion about what is happening in the city.

04:38 We don’t feel so happy, because we don’t have very much money and

04:44 aren’t able to work. We are just waiting and waiting. So people get bored.

04:49 We ask Zervan if he knows why some of the residents are afraid of certain refugees.

04:59 Some people they come here, they drink alcohol and consume drugs

05:05 like marijuana. They do all kinds of stuff, so maybe that’s why the Germans are afraid.

05:11 So when the people here are bored and aren’t allowed to work or go to school

05:16 they go crazy. That’s the problem.

05:21 A problem that the mayor recognises, but his small city of Boostedt is not able to

05:26 provide the refugees sent by the state with sufficient meaningful employment

05:31 We cannot start forced-labor road crews to clean the streets

05:41 or something, and that’s not my duty. My task as mayor is convey the message that

05:45 the community of Boostedt is open-minded, ready to help and prepared to work

05:50 together with the state government, but the existing conditions cannot continue.

05:57 Seats in the “Welcoming Cafe” of the church will stay empty because

06:01 half of the refugees housed in Boostedt have no legal right to stay in Germany.

06:05 With no prospects in Germany, they also have no interest in programs

06:09 the volunteers have to offer. As a result, the frustration continues

06:13 to grow among residents about the lack of willingness to integrate
