The Mannheim I constituency (constituency 35) is a state electoral district in Baden-Württemberg .

In the last election to the Baden-Württemberg state parliament in 2011, 92,771 residents were eligible to vote. The constituency has had its current layout since 1992. It includes the Mannheim districts Käfertal , Neckarstadt-Ost / Wohlhotels , Neckarstadt-West , Sandhofen , Schönau , Vogelstang , Waldhof and Wallstadt and thus - with the exception of Feudenheim - all districts north of the Neckar .

For the 1992 state elections , the Mannheim district was divided into two instead of three constituencies. The previous constituency 36, Mannheim II , and part of the previous constituency 35, Mannheim I , were essentially combined to form the new constituency 35, Mannheim I. In all state elections from 1952 to 2011, the constituency was won by the SPD candidate. The north of Mannheim, which was shaped by industrial workers, was considered an "SPD bastion"; In 1996, 2006 and 2011, the SPD won its only direct mandate in Baden-Württemberg here. In 2016, the constituency was won for the first time by a candidate from the AfD.

Election 2011

The 2006 constituency winner Frank Mentrup (SPD) moved away from Mannheim during the legislative period and ran in 2011 in the Ettlingen constituency . For 2011 , the SPD initially nominated Roland Weiß , who had already represented the constituency as a member of parliament from 2004 to 2006 after the death of Max Nagel . After he was fired by his employer, the SPD withdrew Weiss' nomination and set up Stefan Fulst-Blei . White then ran as a single applicant. Since there was one more individual applicant in this constituency - there were only four individual applicants in the whole of Baden-Württemberg - the voters in the north of Mannheim had the largest selection of candidates. Stefan Fulst-Blei defended the constituency for the SPD, making the Mannheim I constituency, as in 2006, again the only constituency in which an SPD applicant could directly assert himself. Despite a strong increase in voter turnout (+ 11.8%), the constituency again had the lowest turnout in Baden-Württemberg.

Member of Parliament since 1992

In the state elections in Baden-Württemberg, each voter has one vote, with which both the direct candidate and the total number of seats of a party in the state parliament are determined. There are no state or district lists; instead, in order to establish the equalization of proportions, inferior constituency applicants are assigned second mandates.

The Mannheim I constituency has been represented by the following members of the state parliament since 1992:

Political party Type of mandate MPs
SPD First mandate Max Nagel 1992, 1996, 2001
Roland Weiß moved up on March 29, 2004
Frank Mentrup 2006
Stefan Fulst-Blei 2011
Second mandate Stefan Fulst-Blei 2016
AfD First mandate Rüdiger Klos 2016
