In order to have a good start in Saxony-Anhalt and feel at home, it is important to find out about meeting places for families, where people can establish relationships, exchange information, and make plans to attend events or go on excursions together. In addition, it is important to know a one-stop shop that provides important information on various family-related topics, e.g. signposts to administrative structures or government services or even cultural events. We have put together some information (without any claim to completeness):
