The constituency of Austria under the Enns 29 was a constituency for the elections to the House of Representatives in the Austrian crown land of Austria under the Enns . The electoral district was created in 1907 with the introduction of the Reichsrat election regulations and existed until the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy .

history

After the Reichsrat had decided on the general, equal, secret and direct male suffrage in autumn 1906, the major reform of the electoral law through the sanctioning of Emperor Franz Joseph I came into effect on January 26, 1907 . With the new Reichsrat election order, a total of 516 electoral districts were created, with one member being elected in each constituency with the exception of Galicia in the course of the Reichsrat election. The MP had to prevail with an absolute majority in the first ballot or in a runoff election. The constituency of Austria under the Enns 29 comprised the eastern part of Vienna's 18th district Währing , more precisely the district east of the Leitmayergasse, Schopenhauerstrasse, Kutschgergasse, Edelhofgasse, Michaelerstrasse and Gymnasiumstrasse.

From the Imperial Council election in 1907 was Aloys of Liechtenstein ( Christian Social Party forth) as the winner. He could not defend his mandate in the Reichsrat election in 1911 and was defeated by the German national Leopold Waber in the runoff election.
