The electoral district of Bohemia 112 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 112 included the judicial districts of Brüx , Görkau and Postelberg (excluding the municipality of Imling, which was part of the Bohemian constituency 34 ). The cities of Brüx and Postelberg ( electoral district 84 ) and Görkau ( electoral district 85 ) were also excluded from the aforementioned judicial districts . In the 1907 Reichsrat election , Franz Bernt from the Free German, later German Radical Party emerged victorious. He was able to prevail in the runoff election against the candidate of the Social Democrats with around 62 percent of the vote. In the 1911 Reichsrat election, Bernt successfully defended his mandate in the runoff election with around 67 percent against the candidate of the Czech Social Democrats.
