South Tyrolean Homeland Federation

South Tyrolean Homeland Federation

The South Tyrolean Homeland Federation ("Südtiroler Heimatbund", SHB) was a nationalist political party active in the Province of Bolzano.

It was launched in 1983 as Election Association of Homeland Federation ("Wahlverband des Heimatbundes", "Heimatbund") and won 4.2% in the 1983 general election and 2.6% in the 1983 provincial election, enough for granting Eva Klotz a seat in the Provincial Council. In 1988 the party obtained 2.3% and Klotz was re-elected to the Council. In 1989 the party merged with the Freedom Party of South Tyrol of Gerold Meraner (1.4% in 1988) and conservative splinters from the South Tyrolean People's Party led by Alfons Benedikter to form Union for South Tyrol.
