First Austrian Republic

sovereign state in Europe (1919–1934)

The Heimwehr (, ) or Heimatschutz (, ) was a nationalist, initially paramilitary, group that operated in the First Austrian Republic from 1920 to 1936. It was similar in methods, organization, and ideology to the Freikorps in Germany. The Heimwehr was opposed to parliamentary democracy, socialism and Marxism and fought in various skirmishes against left-wing and foreign groups during the 1920s and 1930s. Some of its regional groups also opposed Nazism while others favored it. In spite of its anti-democratic stance, the Heimwehr developed a political wing called the Heimatblock ('Homeland Bloc'

"Landbund" may also refer to the Agricultural League, a former political party of Germany.
