The electoral district of Bohemia 105 was a constituency for the elections to the House of Representatives in the Austrian Crown Land of Bohemia . 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 rules, a total of 516 electoral districts were created, each with a member to be elected, which were determined by direct election with a possible runoff. The constituency of Bohemia 105 comprised the judicial districts Deutsch Gabel , Zwickau and Niemes (excluding the municipality of Zetten) as well as the municipalities of Jesowai, Kleinbösig, Neudorf, Niedergruppai, Niederrokitai, Rosadl, Oberrokitai and Wiska from the judicial district of Weißwasser . The cities of Deutsch Gabel , Zwickau and Niemes (all electoral district of Bohemia 78 ) were not part of the electoral district 105 . The German agrarian Gustav Schreiner emerged victorious from the 1907 Reichsrat election , with Schreiner winning the first ballot with 54 percent. Schreiner was able to defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election with 57 percent in the first ballot. The Agrarian Party's strongest competitor was the Social Democratic Party, which won 45 and 42 percent respectively in the Reichsrat elections.
