Free voters - Burglengenfeld voters community (short name FW-BWG or just BWG ) is the longest existing group of voters in the former district town of Burglengenfeld . Since 2014 it has also been represented in the district council of the Schwandorf district. It has its origins in the resistance against the WAA Wackersdorf .

According to their own statements, the members of the BWG still consider themselves primarily as voters who want their interests and concerns to be dealt with and taken into account in the city council and the city's committees. The name “voter community” is derived from this self-image. Political offices are perceived as an instrument to secure and assert the interests of their voters.

Transfer of SPD elected officials in 2013

After the SPD local association Burglengenfeld refused the outgoing mayor Heinz Karg the candidacy on the city council list, he announced in the press on December 10, 2013 that he, together with the second mayor Theo Lorenz and the city councilor Evi Vohburger, were running on the list of the BWG will. A little later, the three SPD elected officials left the party and joined the electorate. BWG City Councilor Albin Schreiner, together with Karg, Lorenz and Vohburger and the non-party city councilor Robert Gehse, was able to form a five-member parliamentary group for the remainder of the election period. The BWG withdrew its support for the SPD's candidate for mayor, Bernhard Krebs, after the SPD rejected the list connection with the group of voters at the assembly meeting.

District council list BWG / UW

On January 10, 2014, Albin Schreiner and Matthias Süß, the chairman of the Independent Voters Schwandorf , turned to the media and announced a joint district council list . The reason given by the two of them was that they wanted to offer voters an alternative to the parties or party-affiliated groups running for the district council. The assembly meeting on February 17th nominated 30 candidates from the neighboring communities of Burglengenfeld, Maxhütte-Haidhof , Schwandorf and Teublitz . Between February 19 and March 3 at 12:00 p.m., the initiators succeeded in obtaining 469 supporter signatures, which had to be given in the town halls, for the list. 385 would have been legally necessary. At its meeting on February 4, the election committee approved the list for district elections without objection.

Result of the 2014 local elections

In the city council election, the BWG received 29,947 votes, which corresponds to a share of 21.95 percent. This means that the BWG will be represented by five elected representatives in the Burglengenfeld city council in the 2014 to 2020 electoral period. BWG candidate Gerhard Schneeberger lost 41.70 to 58.30 percent to Thomas Gesche from the CSU in the runoff election on March 30th. In the first round of elections, he surprisingly referred the applicants from the SPD and BfB to places 3 and 4. In the district council elections, the BWG / UW list received almost three percent of the votes across the district. The 66,297 votes in the city of Burglengenfeld (20.66 percent at community level) contributed more than half to the overall result of the list. In addition to Gerhard Schneeberger, Mayor Heinz Karg, who previously held a seat for the SPD, is moving into the district assembly. Together with the district councils of young voters and the citizens' list, they form a committee community. However, District Councilor Schneeberger left the committee community on September 26, 2014 and sat in on the CSU parliamentary group. He had announced his departure from the electoral group at the same time.

Local election 2020

In the 2020 local elections, the group no longer took part in the district elections. She received 8.2 percent of the vote in the city council elections in Burglengenfeld and thus won two seats. Your mayoral candidate Glötzl Gregor was able to unite 8.1 percent of the votes.
