In Germany, the large influx of refugees arriving in 2015 led to numerous changes in asylum legislation and to new administrative measures. Apart from humanitarian reasons, integration efforts such as language learning, labour market inclusion as well as cooperation with authorities gained weight and are increasingly factored into decisions on residency permits or extension of stay. On the basis of participant observation within a refugee accommodation, the article argues that the legal and administrative framework of humanitarian reception constitutes powerful inclusionary and exclusionary mechanisms that entail not only spatial and social but also temporal dimensions. They unfold within the speed at which the applications are processed, the different residency titles (and non-titles) refugees receive and with this the different access to integration measures which again influence the speed of the “integration” of refugees into the German society. These temporalities build differential internal boundaries which impact on the everyday life and the future perspectives of the refugees in Germany
