The huge influx of migrants into southern Germany has continued unabated, with the Munich police reporting 12,200 arrived on Saturday.
But the city authorities have again warned they are at "the limit" when it comes to coping with the numbers.
"We have reached the upper limit of our capacity," a police spokesman said, as frantic efforts were under way to accommodate the new arrivals.
Record numbers have also been crossing from Serbia into Hungary.
More than 4,000 people walked across the border with Serbia - the most so far in one day - just as the authorities in Hungary were completing preparations to seal the frontier.
Europe as a whole is struggling to deal with an enormous influx of people, mostly from Syria but also Afghanistan, Eritrea and other countries, fleeing violence and poverty.
Munich, in Germany's southern state of Bavaria, has been the main entry point for those entering the country in search of a better life, but the city says it is having difficulty finding accommodation for them.
"We lack 1,000 to 5,000 places," Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung (in German).
The authorities are considering using a sports venue from the 1972 Olympics, the Olympiahalle, as a temporary shelter.
Mr Dieter also repeated his call for other German regions to take in more migrants.
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has defended the decision to let in large numbers of refugees, saying she was "convinced it was right".
A steady stream of migrants stretches from Greece, through Macedonia, Serbia and Hungary, to Austria and Germany. Many crossed the sea in little more than play boats from Turkey to several Greek islands.
Officials estimate that 175,000 migrants have crossed from Serbia into Hungary so far this year.
