Liechtenstein Homeland Service (German : Liechtensteiner Heimatdienst, LHD) was a political party in Liechtenstein that advocated corporate statism and the abolition of party politics. [1]

History

Established in the autumn of 1933, the party's positions began to radicalize and move toward Nazi ideas within a few months of existence. [1] It also included some former followers of the Liechtenstein Free Trade Association. [2] By December 1933, this radicalization caused some members, such as co-founder Eugen Schafhauser and Richard Meier to abandon the party. [3] [4]

The LHD merged with the Christian-Social People's Party (VP) in 1936 to form the Patriotic Union (VU). [5]
