Other refugees access to help themselves by forming, as here in Württemberg, clay bricks and build with this mud-brick houses. There are Germans from Bačka, who built their farms in Romania in this way.

Nomads today create new homes and a new home.

05. People without Home
The stream of refugees, which pours into Germany since two years, is still continuing. The 10 million number of orderly transferred refugees is still being increased by others who illegally cross the border into the Western Zones of Germany. Singly and in groups they pass over the "green" border. Only a small part of them succeed in getting across. The camps established for these people are over crowded. First every arrival is registered. The future of these illegal refugees is still subject of negotiations. For the other refugees the barracks are the first rest centre, too. Living and feeding conditions are often very primitive. Families with children and single persons often have to live in one room with sick people. There are no means to build new and above all winter proof barracks. After passing through the temporary camps most of the refugees were settled in towns or in the country. But some of them still live in the shelters they made themselves out of wood, paper, and tin - and which beame their second home. Old railway ears, too, were utilised for the same purpose. Again and again all kinds of discarded material are used to make furniture or additional structures to create a more comfortable life. Other refugees help themselves by forming bricks from loam and build houses with it. They are Germans from the Batschka, Rumania, who built their farms in the same way there. The loam - bricks are dried in the air. The foundations are built of rocks. The first houses are ready, more are being built. The Nomads of to-day build themselves new houses and, thus, a new home.
