Estates building in Kassel

The provincial parliament of the province of Hessen-Nassau was the highest representative body in the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau . It was located below the Prussian state parliament and above the municipal parliaments of Wiesbaden and Kassel and existed from 1886 to 1933 in the province of Hessen-Nassau. The electoral term lasted six years and the number of MPs was derived from the population.

The meeting place was the Ständehaus in Kassel , which had already served as a meeting place for the Hessian Estates Assembly of the Electorate of Hesse .

composition

The members of parliament were elected indirectly until 1921 : until 1919 the members of the provincial parliament were appointed by the Wiesbaden and Kassel municipal parliaments, and in 1919 and 1920 the members of the provincial parliament were appointed by the city parliaments and district assemblies. Only after the passing of the law on the elections to the provincial parliaments and to the district parliaments on December 3, 1920 did general, equal, secret and direct elections of the deputies take place.

After the incorporation of the Free State of Waldeck into the province of Hessen-Nassau on April 1, 1929, additional elections to the provincial parliament were held in June 1929.

The meeting of the Provincial Parliament on April 11, 1933 was the last. Thereafter, the provincial parliament was dissolved with the law on the transfer of competences from the provincial (municipal) state parliaments, the association assembly of the Ruhr coal district and the district assemblies to the provincial (state) committees, the association committee and the district committees of July 17, 1933.

Election results

The first direct election for the provincial parliament took place on February 21, 1921. The last election was on March 12, 1933.
