"We are fighting for Longerich!"



For 26 years, there it is: the citizens' initiative "Housing and the Environment" is a long-standing for the protection of green space and urban development.
And much has been achieved for the club Longerich and its inhabitants! It began in 1982 with the prevention of a four-lane military ring. At the Liege-military barracks? Thanks to a citizens' initiative came about before.
The trees at the barracks were allowed to stand, thanks to Rainer Zinkel and his team. "But there is still much to do," says Zinkel, the chairman of the Citizens' Initiative. Thus, at the stop Herford Street is constantly forming on the basis of false traffic light system backlog.
Currently, the citizens' group has 250 members. There are meetings every first Monday of the month, from 20 clock in the parish hall of Christ the King Altona on the street. The citizens' initiative "Housing and the Environment", she fights for Longerich!
