Die Linke (Formel SPD) used to be close to a majority in our parents time.

Idk what you mean by that, the SPD was always centre left, at least since Bismarck times. Sure, they moved to be basically no-opinion-at-all centrism recently, but it is not like they were the shining sunshine of socialism before.

The Die Linke of today is popular for the positions of the SPD of the past.

Maybe you are older than me. In the last ~20 years that I was old enough to understand the news, the SPD was always the center-left party and the Left/PDS the far left (for a non-fringe party) one. Fugging hell, my conservative grandma voted SPD because she dislikes Merz for his AfD bullshit back in January, and she is everything but left-wing.
