About this data
The monthly report of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees in one table: first and subsequent asylum applications, proceedings still pending at month-end, the requests, acceptances and transfers under the European responsibility rules, and the integration and vocational-language courses that follow a positive decision. The course series run about three months behind the asylum figures in the same report because the source is still completing its records. From 12 June 2026 the definition of a subsequent application was widened to include transnational cases, which is a break in the series.
