It was a story which came up today via ARD (German public TV, Channel One). The CDU and SPD coalition sat down and agreed upon a change to refugees and where they will reside.
There will be a federal law drafted which will state that once you've entered the approved stage for asylum/immigration (meaning you get the card)....they are going to 'assign' you to a particular German state, and you must reside there for three years before you can move.
An example.....you arrive at some refugee center, wait for four months for the approval of a visa (or possible disapproval), and then an administrative guy is going to review thing and assign you to a state. It's possible to then move from city-1 to city-2, within that state.....but you can't move to a totally separate state (like from Berlin to the Pfalz).
Part of this effort is to prevent 'clumping' where you placed a large group of Syrians in just one single state or region.
The odds of this being challenged in court? I'd say it's a 99-percent chance of a challenge. The fact that you may have four cousins living in Bavaria, and they assign you to Bremen? Well....that's the luck of the system.
