(League of Virtue), a secret political society in Prussia, founded in April 1808 for the purpose of reviving the national spirit after Napoleon’s crushing defeat of Prussia. The Tugendbund had more than 700 members, mostly liberal noblemen, representatives of the bourgeois intelligentsia, and officials not connected with the popular masses. K. vom und zum Stein, G. von Scharnhorst, and A. von Gneisenau were associated with the Tugendbund. The society was officially disbanded in January 1810. REFERENCEStettiner, P. Der Tugendbund.
