'Rummel' can be a short form of old Germanic names like 'Rumwalt' and therefore refer to one of your early ancestors. It could also refer to an early place of origin of your family, e.g. Rummelsberg. There's also the Middle High German verb 'rummeln', which means to rumble, to roister, to be boisterous. The only modern use I'm aware of is as another word for 'Kirmes' (fair). So if you want to visit a fair with German friends, you could say 'Lasst uns auf den Rummel gehen!'.

P.S.: 'Henrik' is a Scandinavian or Low German form of 'Heinrich', which is a combination of the Old High German words 'heima' (home, homestead) and 'rihhi' (reign, lordship). So 'Henrik' could be translated as 'lord of the homestead' (taking into account that at the time this name was created a 'home' was more than just an apartment or a small house).

Who knows if Syria will ever be safe again in the next twenty years. Do you want to lock the refugees away until then, or send them back after they have been in the country for twenty years and build a new life?

What would you change about the asylum and integration process in Germany/the EU? What could have been done to make your journey, your arrival and your first days in Germany easier and more successful? Like for example access to activities (e.g. learning courses) and maybe even small jobs to keep people busy?
