Dear Reader,
First of all, your commitment to learn the German language as soon as possible is admirable! What a pity that the school is now so far away. In Hamburg, the transfer from an initial reception to subsequent accommodation is carried out by the authority for labor, social affairs, family, and integration. The subsequent accommodations are mostly run by a municipal company called "fördern und wohnen". This distribution can sometimes happen very quickly (in your case within only three days), sometimes it can take a very long time.
I would advise contacting the relevant management of the shelter and describe the problem. Perhaps there is a way to quickly find a language course near close to the new accommodation. Whether it is possible to move to a subsequent accommodation closer to the original initial reception, i.e., near the language school, would then possibly also need to be clarified.
However, there is also the possibility to rent your own apartment that is close to the language school. Refugees entitled to protection, i.e., people with asylum recognition, refugee recognition, subsidiary protection, or other residence titles, generally have the right to move into their own apartment. In the case of some residence titles, the foreigners’ authorities can add a note that the refugee must live in a specific residence. Unfortunately, it is very difficult for refugees to find a suitable apartment on the Hamburg housing market.
Best of luck!
