History
thumb|[[Wilhelm Beck house, the headquarters of the Patriotic Union]]
The Patriotic Union was formed by the 1936 merger of the Christian-Social People's Party (VP) with the minor party Liechtenstein Homeland Service (LHD). While the VP was the larger and more popular party, following the merger members of the LHD took prominent positions in the leadership of the new party.
