Hanseatic People's League

The Hanseatic People's League (German: Hanseatischer Volksbund) was a Weimar era political party in Lübeck, Germany.

[1] The party was formed by middle-class sectors that opposed the Social Democrats, in response to the takeover of the mayoral post of Lübeck by the Social Democrats.

[2][3] The Hanseatic People's League proclaimed itself as a 'gathering point for all non-Marxist, i.e. non-SPD/KPD, voters'.

[2] In the 14 November 1926 Landtag election, the Hanseatic People's League became the largest party with 36 out of 80 seats in the assembly.

[4] In the 1929 Landtag election, the size of the party faction in the assembly shrunk to 29 seats.
