After years of searching, the Canton of Solothurn has secured two new stopping places for the Swiss Jenische and Sinti communities, addressing the national shortage of such facilities. Currently hosting only one site, these new placements aim to provide essential amenities for a mobile lifestyle. Community meetings have raised mixed feelings among local residents, balancing curiosity and skepticism about the cultural integration. Plans include a winter stay site and a combined stopover in Härkingen and Biberist. Local officials emphasize the importance of communication and education to alleviate concerns as preparations continue towards the 2025 opening.
