Welcome

As Chairman of the County Council I would like to give you a warm welcome as a new arrival in our County of Windmills.

It is important to the County of Minden-Lübbecke that people who come from outside Germany integrate well in our society and I hope that you will soon feel at home in our county. In this I would like to give my help and support.

It was for this reason that the internet site was created for you. Here you can find a collection of offers that can be helpful in your new situation.

On the following internet pages you will find information and addresses concerning the most important topics for people from a migratory background. If you click on the individual fields you will find first general information and then, in alphabetical order, a list of the places with the relevant addresses.

You will find the right people to talk to and important contact addresses for many of your questions.

Integration is more that learning the language of the country. Economic, social, legal, cultural and political aspects belong to integration too. I want you to have equal opportunities with everyone else living here and I hope you will be happy and at home here in the County of Minden-Lübbecke.

I would like to thank everyone involved, in particular, the project group “Integration”, for the constructive co-operation in creating this internet site.

I wish you a good start and much success in this new chapter in your lives.
