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 Bohemia 107 comprised the jurisdictions Litomefice (without the constituency Bohemia 36 belonging to communities Bauschowitz, Bohemia Kopist, Brnian, German Kopist, Drabschitz, Hrdly, Keblitz, Podčapel) Auscha and Lobositz (not belonging to the constituency 36 municipalities Chodolitz, Chrastian , Jetschan, Opolan, Schöppenthal, Semtsch, Starrey, Trebnitz, Třiblitz, Tržemschitz, Wrbitschan). The cities of Leitmeritz , Lobositz and Auscha ( electoral district of Bohemia 80 ) were not part of the electoral district . The German agrarian Franz Kutscher emerged victorious from the 1907 Reichsrat election and was able to defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election. Kutscher, who died in 1912, was succeeded by his party colleague Karl Müller .
