The Welcome Center Erzgebirge is the central service point for companies, migrant workers and returnees.

We extend a warm welcome to newcomers and returnees to the Ore Mountains and use our expertise and network to help them arrive and settle in the region. Through personal support, we develop individual solutions. We see ourselves as bridge builders and provide regional expertise and individually tailored information.

We stand for an open culture of welcome and support initiatives that help newcomers feel at home in the Ore Mountains.

Our partners


(Kopie 16)

As a service organization between companies and specialist agencies, we support immigrants from Germany and abroad in arriving and settling in the Ore Mountains. To this end, we work efficiently in an open network with various regional partners. Together with them, we develop individual solutions.

Our partners from the administration, local authorities and regional associations provide advice on formal and legal matters. Our partners for personal and local issues provide support in finding accommodation, childcare, leisure activities, etc.

The Welcome Center Erzgebirge with its network:

  • Structures the path from arrival to integration
  • Establishes direct contact with the right regional contacts
  • Draws attention to offers in the liveable Ore Mountains region
  • Informs and helps people to help themselves

Other regional network partners and initiatives are "hERZlich" invited to actively participate.
