[1] Leaders of the party were Heinrich Conrad, Konrad von Dressler and James Gubba.
[2] Together with the Memel People's Party, the party was established on June 13, 1925, by the Memel Cultural Union (Memelländischer Kulturbund) in preparation for the first elections to the local county councils and the Parliament of the Klaipėda Region.
[1] MLP was able to offer discounts to its members and thus gained significant influence in the region.
In May 1926, the party won three seats (out of 85) in the Third Seimas of Lithuania (August Mielbrecht, Johann Schuischel and Georg Waschkies).
[1] After the Nazi seizure of power in Germany in 1933, MLP became increasingly right-wing and encouraged its members to join the pro-Nazi Socialist National Community (Sozialistische Volksgemeinschaft or SOVOG).
