Folkpartiets Länsförbund i Östergötland

Updated April 16, 2024

## Folkpartiets Länsförbund i Östergötland (Linköping): what it is, what’s still accurate, and how to handle a visit

If you’re mapping places in central Linköping and you come across “Folkpartiets Länsförbund i Östergötland” at Drottninggatan 12, 582 25 Linköping, here’s the key point: this is associated with a political organization, not a park or a conventional visitor attraction. Several business/registry-style listings tie the name to that address and phone number.

### Name change context (important for accuracy)
“Folkpartiet” is the party name many people still recognize, but the party is known today as Liberalerna (The Liberals). The Östergötland branch’s official site describes Liberalerna Östergötland as a regional federation covering 13 municipal associations.

That name shift matters because older listings may still use “Folkpartiet” while newer pages use “Liberalerna,” and addresses can drift over time.

## Address + “outdated data” flags you should not ignore

### What can be verified from public listings
Multiple directory-style sources list Drottninggatan 12, 582 25 Linköping for “Folkpartiets Länsförbund i Östergötland,” including a phone number (013-31 41 65) in at least some listings.

### Why you should treat that as potentially outdated
There are also credible signals that current operations/contact points may be elsewhere:
– The local Liberalerna Linköping contact page lists Klostergatan 9A, 582 23 Linköping as the local association’s address (not Drottninggatan 12).
– One company/association registry-style listing ties org.nr 822000-1120 to “Liberalerna Östergötland” and shows a Linköping postal address, but also indicates a status that can be interpreted as not actively operating (wording varies by registry).

Practical takeaway: If your goal is to physically visit (for a meeting, event, or civic engagement), treat Drottninggatan 12 as a historical/registry address unless you can confirm it via the party’s official contact channels.

## What to expect on-site (and what you should not assume)

Because this is a political organization office entry, you should not assume:
– public visitor hours
– walk-in access
– signage that makes it obvious
– that it’s a single-tenant location

In fact, Drottninggatan 12 in Linköping is also listed publicly for other organizations (e.g., community/appointment-based services), which strongly suggests it may be a multi-tenant building.

### Best practice if you’re going anyway
– Verify the current meeting point using the official Liberalerna local/regional pages first.
– If you’re using the phone number from a directory listing, treat it as unconfirmed until it connects you to a live contact.
– If accessibility is a requirement (step-free entry, lift access), don’t trust generic directory icons—confirm directly.

## Why this place shows up as a “Park” in some datasets
Your input lists location_type: Park, but every strong signal available points to a political organization / party office entry, not a green space.

This kind of mismatch typically comes from:
– automated place categorization
– legacy scraping from mixed sources
– confusing “Drottninggatan” addresses across Swedish cities (there are many)

If you’re cleaning a locations database, this is a prime candidate to reclassify as “Political organization” (or “Civic/political office”), then attach a “verify address” note.
