Landsberg was the name of faction that started in September 1848 as part of the National Assembly in Frankfurt. As with most factions of the National Assembly, the name refers to the usual place of assembly of the faction members in Frankfurt am Main.
The faction was a split off of the national - liberal Casino faction and the left-liberal faction Württemberger Hof.[1]
The Landsberg faction assembled members of the right liberal, especially from the southwest, Rhine middle and the north German professors.[2]
The faction supported a strong central power with a strong parliament and therefore wanted to curtail the rights of the individual states more than other political groups. They also supported a constitutional monarchy. It included politicians such as Johann Friedrich Christoph Bauer, Carl Otto Dammers, William Jordan, Heinrich von Quintus Icilius and Maximilian Heinrich Rüder.
