history

The party era

The DLVH was founded in 1991 under the name of the German Alliance - United Rights as a “collection association of democratic patriots”. This name had to be given up due to a lawsuit by Allianz Versicherungs-AG . After it became clear that the goal of a "collection association" could not be achieved, the organization was founded as a party in the same year. The most prominent founding member was the former NPD federal chairman Martin Mußgnug . Rudolf Kendzia , the MEP and former REP Secretary General Harald Neubauer and Jürgen Schützinger acted as three federal chairmen with equal rights .

The end of 1991, the party won by the passage of the DVU -Abgeordneten Hans-aged man in Bremen their first seat in Parliament, the nearly later, however, the DLVH again turned his back and a half years. In the same year, in the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate, the voter group Deutsche Allianz - Heimatbündnis Rheinland-Pfalz of the former REP presidium member Günter Zerfass , which was close to the DA-VR, took part.

In the state elections in Baden-Württemberg in 1992 , the DLVH received 0.5 percent of the vote.

Gerhard Kaindl, who was killed in Berlin in 1992, was Berlin's DLVH state secretary.

In mid-1993, three former DVU MPs from Schleswig-Holstein ( Ingo Schachtschneider , Ingo Stawitz and Karin Voss ) joined the DLVH, six months later also Benvenuto-Paul Friese , also a former DVU MP, whereby she and four MPs ( the minimum for a parliamentary group in Schleswig-Holstein) could form an independent parliamentary group. In the middle of 1995, however, Friese returned to the DVU, whereby the DLVH lost its parliamentary group status again.

In the state elections in Schleswig-Holstein in 1996 , it only reached 0.2% and thus disappeared into political insignificance.

The club era

In October 1996 the DLVH gave up its party status and has been an association ever since. In 2004 she achieved 6.2% in the local elections in Villingen-Schwenningen and thus 2 seats in the local council, in the district council of the Schwarzwald-Baar district she achieved a seat in the same year. In 2009 she lost one of the two seats in the city council of Villingen- Schwenningen, however, was able to defend its seat in the district council. In 2014, the DLVH achieved one seat each in the city council and district council, which was occupied by Jürgen Schützinger , from 2006 to 2013 state chairman of the Baden-Württemberg NPD. In 2019 , the DLVH lost its seat in the district council, but Schützinger was re-elected to the Villingen-Schwenningen municipal council.

In June 1996 the citizens' movement pro Köln was founded as an offshoot of the DLVH. The pro-movement emerged from it , in which many former DLVH functionaries are active today.

Forms of action

In March 1993 three party members offered a bounty of 5,000 marks for the arrest of a woman belonging to the Roma ethnic minority who was threatened with deportation and who lived in hiding in Cologne. This led to the isolation of the DL in Cologne. As a result, the DL dissolved in Cologne.
