More than 130,000 refugees have vanished in Germany over the past 14 months

The government admitted the shock statistic, which represents 13 per cent of the number of migrants who have arrived since the beginning of 2014, in answer to a question posed in the Bundestag parliament on Thursday by the Left Party.
It means they have left Germany to wander into other countries after initial registration, or they have disappeared underground.

The numbers are calculated on accommodation slots across the country that were allocated and not taken up.

The migrants are thought to have crossed the border into neighbouring European countries

It comes after leader Angela Merkel has come under fire for her open-door policy which saw over a million migrants arrive in 2015.

The head of Germany's migration office, Frank-Jürgen Weise, also admitted that there are currently up to 400,000 people in the country whose identities are unknown to authorities.

Berlin also said it enjoys little success in sending refugees back to EU states responsible for them - the 'safe' countries they first arrived in from their homelands.

Authorities made a request to a European partner to take back refugees for one in every ten applicants. In 2014 it was one in five.
