The German-Hanoverian Party, also known as the Guelph Party, was an agrarian, federalist political party in the Kingdom of Prussia. It sought to restore the Kingdom of Hanover under the House of Welf, which had been turned into a mere province of the Kingdom of Prussia in the aftermath of the Austro-Prussian War in 1866. It represented the interests of Hanoverian separatists and regionalists that sought to restore the overthrown House of Welf and separate from Prussia to either become a kingdom within Germany or to become independent outright. The party was a part of the anti-Prussian faction in the Reichstag and closely cooperated with the Catholic Centre Party, including opposing Kulturkampf and centralization legislations.
