The Association of German Land Reformers (German: Bund Deutscher Bodenreformer) was a German Georgist political party active during the first half of the 20th century. Originally founded as the German Association for Land Reform (Deutscher Bund für Bodenreform) in 1898 from a merger of the German Association for Land Ownership Reform (Deutsche Bund für Bodenbesitzreform) and the Land League (Land-Liga), it was renamed later that same year.:75 Influenced by the theories of the American social philosopher Henry George, the Association was co-founded by Adolf Damaschke [de] and Michael Flürscheim [de],:74 and led by Damaschke until his death in 1935. The Association opposed private land monopoly and speculation and positioned itself between liberalism and social democracy on the German political spectrum. During the Weimar Republic, the Association of German Land Reformers reached the height of its political influence. Under the leadership of Adolf Damaschke, it became one of the most prominent advocates of land‑value taxation and broader land reform. The Association participated actively in public debates on property and taxation and its proposals helped shape discussions surrounding Articles 153 and 155 of the Weimar Constitution, which addressed property rights and the social obligations of landownership.:76 Although it never operated as a mass political party, the Association maintained close ties with liberal and social-democratic circles, organized national congresses, and circulated widely read pamphlets and journals. Its influence was particularly visible in debates over urban housing shortages, rural settlement policy, and the design of the Reich Homestead Act [de], where it promoted measures intended to curb land speculation and expand access to land for smallholders and working-class families.:76 After the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, the Association's activities rapidly diminished. Its Georgist program—centered on liberal economic reform, curbing land monopoly, and promoting legal‑administrative changes to property taxation—was fundamentally incompatible with National Socialist ideology, which prioritized racialized and state‑directed land policy under the banner of Blut und Boden.:77 Independent reform organizations lost their political space as the regime consolidated control, and the Association was increasingly sidelined and deprived of opportunities to advocate for its program. The death of Damaschke in 1935 further weakened the organization, leaving it without its principal public figure at a time of tightening authoritarian oversight.:77 By the early 1940s the Association had effectively ceased to function, surviving only in name before disappearing entirely during the later years of the war.:77 After the end of the Second World War, former members of the Association attempted to revive the Georgist movement in Germany under the new name Association for Land and Freedom (Bund für Land und Freiheit).:77 The initiative sought to r
