- Kornwestheim was the first in Ludwigsburg district to mandate work for refugees at 80 cents per hour.
- No other communities implemented compulsory work, although about 80 refugees participate in voluntary jobs.
- Only one refugee complied with the work requirement and later secured formal employment, while others declined the offer.
- No benefits cuts occurred because those refusing work were either no longer under authority or not eligible for sanctions.
It's also clear that we would then have to sanction refusals to work.— Nico Lauxmann, Mayor of Kornwestheim, said in spring 2025 in relation to the work obligation for asylum seekers.
