State Parliament for Württemberg-Hohenzollern

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bebenhausen Monastery - seat of the state parliament for Württemberg-Hohenzollern

The parliament of Württemberg-Hohenzollern was the first freely elected parliament after the Second World War, in the French occupation zone country incurred Württemberg-Hohenzollern . The Landtag was the successor body to the Advisory State Assembly for Württemberg-Hohenzollern, elected by local delegates . The election took place on May 18, 1947 at the same time as the vote on the state constitution drawn up by the National Consultative Assembly.

The constituent session of the state parliament took place on June 3, 1947 in the Bebenhausen monastery . The Landtag was elected for four years; the new election should have taken place in the spring of 1951. Because of the planned amalgamation of Württemberg-Hohenzollern with Baden and Württemberg-Baden , the electoral term was extended by a decree by President Gebhard Müller until the three states were unified. The constitutional amendment required for this was approved by the population together with the referendum on the unification of the three countries on December 9, 1951. It became necessary after the Federal Constitutional Court declared the First Federal Restructuring Act, which provided for an extension of the electoral term to March 31, 1952, to be invalid.

Both MPs belonged to the CDU. The Lindau district was the only Bavarian district to belong to the French occupation zone and was therefore administratively affiliated to Württemberg-Hohenzollern.
