Sudeten German Rural League
Sudeten German Rural League (Sudetendeutscher Landbund, SdLB) was a far-right political party for Sudeten Germans in interwar Czechoslovakia. It was founded on 25 March 1928 in Brno after breaking away from the Farmers' League. The founders formed the party's völkisch wing, and the leaders were Georg Hanreich and Josef Mayer.
SdLB stood for German nationalism, agrarian interests, and antisemitism, and it opposed Czechoslovak statehood. In the 1929 parliamentary elections it ran in alliance with the German National Party. Georg Hanreich was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, and he stayed in the German National Party faction until 6 October 1933, after which he sat as an independent.
The SdLB published the newspaper Sudetendeutscher Landbote from Brno. The party was dissolved in 1935.
