Der Umbruch (lit. "The Upheaval", sometimes referred to by its nickname Der Bruch) was a newspaper published in Vaduz, Liechtenstein.[2][3][4] It was the organ of the German National Movement in Liechtenstein (VDBL), a National Socialist political party.[5][3]

Der Umbruch was published from 5 October 1940 to 6 July 1943.[5] Initially it was published weekly, but shifted to publication twice per week in March 1941.[5][6] Martin Hilti served as editor until 1942.[2][7] Other contributors included Dr. Alfons Goop, Dr. Sepp Ritter and Dr. Hermann Walser.[4] The newspaper was printed by U. Goppel.[4][8]

Der Umbruch wrote enthusiastically about the advances of the German military across Europe.[1] The readers were mainly found amongst the followers of the movement.[1] As of 1942 the newspaper had a circulation of around 300.[1] The newspaper was banned by the government in July 1943.[5][6]
