List of the Reichstag constituencies of the German Empire
The list of the Reichstag constituencies of the German Empire contains the constituencies for the Reichstag elections in the German Reich from 1871 to 1918.
Constituencies
For the elections to the Reichstag , the territory of the German Empire was divided into a total of 397 constituencies. In each constituency, a member of parliament was elected with absolute majority voting. The division of the constituencies remained unchanged until 1918 and was at no time adapted to the strong population growth in the urban centers.
In the area of the former North German Confederation , the already existing 297 constituencies for the elections to the Reichstag of the North German Confederation were taken over. A total of 85 constituencies were formed in Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden and the Hessian parts of Starkenburg and Rheinhessen . In the first Reichstag election of the newly founded German Reich in 1871, there were 382 constituencies. The realm of Alsace-Lorraine with a further fifteen constituencies did not take part in Reichstag elections until 1874 .
The constituencies were not consecutively but numbered separately by state or administrative district . In the Prussian province of Hanover , the constituencies remained numbered, as this province had no administrative districts before 1885.
