New social advice from Die Linke in Wuppertal starts today!

A fresh wind is blowing in Wuppertal! From today, November 13, 2025, the party “Die Linke” has opened its doors to the new social advice center. This initiative is intended to help people, regardless of their origin, income class or political opinion, with their problems with the authorities. For anyone looking for support, the consultation is a cost-effective offer as it is free and takes place two days a month in the party office on Elberfelder Hochstrasse. Radiowuppertal reports that the party plans to open more advice centers in the future, which should make many people happy.

This new contact point is not alone on the socio-political stage. The Wuppertal social welfare association Tacheles already has many years of experience in advice and offers a similar range of services. The two organizations work hand in hand and coordinate with each other to help the people in Wuppertal in the best possible way. Information about how to reach Tacheles is available online and offers useful tips for getting there. Anyone traveling by public transport can use the Loher Brücke suspension railway station or the bus lines 612 and 622, which stop in the immediate vicinity of the advice center. Tacheles provides detailed directions for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers so everyone can easily find their way.

A social network for everyone

But what does it mean to be social? This term has deeper roots that go back to Latin. “Social” stands for collective action and is related to terms such as “helpful” and “merciful”. It describes relationships between people and how they treat each other - ideally with compassion and support. In today's world, when everyone wants to find their place in society, such initiatives are more in demand than ever. As Niklas Luhmann defines, society is a complex “social system” in which every individual plays a role. Wikipedia describes that our behavior depends heavily on how we understand and implement our social role.

Both “Die Linke” and Tacheles are actively committed to overcoming social challenges and supporting people in difficult life situations. It is a good sign for the Wuppertal community that such offers of help are being created to address the “social question” – as it is often referred to in political discussions. After all, each of us can find ourselves in a situation where we need help.

The commitment of these organizations shows that there are still people who are willing to work together and stand up for each other. So anyone who has problems with authorities or simply needs guidance is warmly invited to take advantage of the new advisory services. Wuppertal shows that social responsibility is really lived!
