Sudetendeutscher Landbund ('Sudeten German Rural League', SdLB) was a Sudeten German political party in interwar Czechoslovakia. The party was founded in 1928, following a split in the Farmers' League.[1][2] The founding party congress was held in Brno on 25 March 1928.[3] The founders of SdLB had constituted the völkisch wing of the Farmers' League.[1] SdLB was a German nationalist farmers party, opposed to Czechoslovak statehood.[2] Georg Hanreich and Josef Mayer served as chairmen of the party.[2]

SdLB contested the 1929 Czechoslovak parliamentary election in alliance with the German National Party.[2] Hanreich was elected to the Chamber of Deputies.[2] He was a member of the DNP parliamentary faction until 6 October 1933, after which he stayed as an independent.[2]

The party published the newspaper Sudetendeutscher Landbote from Brno.[2]

The party was dissolved in 1935.[2]
