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 37 comprised the following municipalities:

• Zwettl , Weitra and Horn (from the court districts of the same name)
• Dietmanns , Großsiegharts and Waidhofen an der Thaya ( judicial district Waidhofen an der Thaya )
• Heidenreichstein and Litschau ( Litschau judicial district )
• Aalfang , Böhmzeil , Brand , Erdweis , Gmünd , Hoheneich , Schrems , Niederschrems and Wielands ( Schrems judicial district )
• Karlstein and Kautzen ( judicial district Dobersberg )

From the Imperial Council election in 1907 was Theodor Hackenberg ( Socialist Workers Party ) emerged as the winner. He prevailed in the runoff election with 54 percent against the Christian socialist Franz Zuleger. In the 1911 Reichsrat election, Hackenberg lost his mandate in the runoff election to Karl Kittinger , who had run as a compromise candidate for the German freedom parties and the Christian Social Party.
