The Linke List Mönchengladbach is a group of voters in Mönchengladbach . It was founded in 1992 as Linke Liste Odenkirchen (LiLO). In 1994 the LiLO took part in the local elections in Mönchengladbach for the first time and achieved 14.3% of the vote in its district . The name was changed for the local elections in 2004 and the LiLO ran for the first time in all 33 constituencies.
history
Rolf Flören moved into the Odenkirchen district representation for the DKP in 1989 , but a short time later there was a break with the party. Because of this, citizens from different political, ecological and ecclesiastical directions came together in Odenkirchen in 1992 and founded the electoral alliance "Linke Liste Odenkirchen". In the local elections in 1994, this alliance stood for the first time with Rolf Flören, Helmut Schaper and Hannelore Heiden as the top candidates and achieved two seats and parliamentary group status in the Odenkirchen district council. In the local elections in 1999, the LiLO ran again in the Odenkirchen district and was able to get two places in the district council. In addition, there was a cooperation with Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen, so that Rolf Flören moved into the city council as a non-attached member via their reserve list in the course of the replacement procedure in January 2002.
The name of the electoral alliance was changed to Linke Liste Mönchengladbach in 2004 while retaining the acronym LiLO. For the first time the LiLO could be elected in all of Mönchengladbach and achieved 2.98%, thus two mandates for the city council.
The LiLO will no longer run in the 2009 local elections. The previous councilors of the LiLO, Rolf Flören and Helmut Schaper, are the DIE LINKE party. Mönchengladbach joined, sit on the board there and run for the new party in the local elections. Although the LiLO should initially continue to exist as an alliance, it has now dissolved.

logo
A clear logo was never created, since mid-2008 there has been a banner with the words "LiLO Linke Liste Mönchengladbach" which is often used.

This figure is used in various variations.
