Since 2015, at least €12.2 billion has been spent on the accommodation and care of unaccompanied minor asylum seekers in Germany, according to exclusive figures obtained by AfD Member of Parliament René Springer. The actual sum is likely significantly higher, as several federal states have provided incomplete or missing data. Between 2015 and 2024, authorities registered nearly 190,000 unaccompanied foreign minors, known as UMAs.
